The L-shaped association between superoxide dismutase levels and blood pressure in older Chinese adults: community-based, cross-sectional study.

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.
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
backgroundAs an antioxidant, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) have been found to be associated with hypertension.
methodsThe data were derived from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), a prospective cohort study in China. We explored the association between serum SOD and blood pressure (BP) using multivariable correction analysis in an older Chinese population.
resultsWe observed a significantly gradual downward trend in the association between serum SOD levels and diastolic BP (DBP) in participants with lower serum SOD levels (< 58 IU/mL), while no associations were observed between serum SOD levels and DBP in participants with higher serum SOD levels (> 58 IU/mL). Similar results showed a significant gradual downward trend in associations between serum SOD levels and the risk of diastolic hypertension only at SOD < 58 IU/mL. Multiple linear regression analysis suggested that serum SOD was negatively correlated with DBP (Sβ = -0.088,
conclusionsOur study indicated for the first time that there was an L-shaped association between serum SOD levels and the risk of diastolic hypertension in the older Chinese population.
