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

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prominent health concern worldwide, leading to the high incidence of disability and mortality and bringing in heavy healthcare and social burden. Plant-based diets are reported associated with a reduction of DM risk. Plant-based diets are rich in flavonoids, which possess properties such as scavenging free radicals and exerting both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Purpose: However, whether dietary flavonoids are associated with the prevalence of DM remains controversial. The potential reasons for contradictory epidemiological outcomes on the association between dietary flavonoids and DM prevalence have not been determined. Methods: To address these limitations, we employed data from 22,481 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to explore the association between the intake of flavonoids and DM prevalence by weighted Logistic regression and weighted restricted cubic splines. Results: We found that the prevalence of DM was inversely associated with the intake of total flavonoids in the second quartile [Odds Ratio (OR) 0.78 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.63, 0.97), Conclusion: Taken together, our study may provide preliminary research evidence for personalized improvement of dietary habits to reduce the prevalence of diabetes.
