Cubic restricted spline regression for estimated relative risk of lung cancer according to baseline serum alpha-tocopherol concentration in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study. The reference value (9.5âmg/L; relative risk = 1.00) corresponds to the cutoff value of the first quintile of serum alpha-tocopherol concentration. The two-sided P values were derived from the likelihood ratio tests for nonlinearity and the linear relation.
