1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo investigate the association between diet quality and chronic axonal polyneuropathy.

methodsBetween June 2013 and January 2017, among 1650 participants of the Rotterdam Study (median age 69.1 years, 54.2% women), diet quality was quantified based on food frequency questionnaires as a sum score of adherence (yes/no) to 14 components of the Dutch dietary guidelines. Presence of polyneuropathy was determined based on a questionnaire, neurological examination of the legs, and nerve conduction studies. We used logistic regression to associate diet quality with the presence of chronic axonal polyneuropathy and linear regression to associate with sural sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude in participants without polyneuropathy. Results were adjusted for age, sex, time between measurements, body mass index, blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, smoking, kidney function, and education.

resultsOverall diet quality was not associated with chronic axonal polyneuropathy (odds ratio [OR] = 0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.88; 1.12, P = 0.842), nor with sural SNAP amplitude in participants without polyneuropathy (difference = 0.01, 95% CI -0.14; 0.15, P = 0.993). Although not surviving multiple testing, a nominally significant association was found between salt intake ≤6 g/day and presence of chronic axonal polyneuropathy (OR = 0.55, 95% CI 0.35; 0.86, P = 0.008).

interpretationWe did not find an association between diet quality and chronic axonal polyneuropathy.
