The association between blood vitamin E and blood pressure in an adult population with and without diabetes mellitus.

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
Aims: Previous studies on the association between vitamin E and blood pressure (BP) levels are controversial. Our study aimed to evaluate the association between blood vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol) levels and systolic and diastolic BP in an adult population with diabetes and without diabetes. Methods: Our study data were obtained from a biomarker project of the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study. A total of 1068 subjects were included, and the associations between alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol levels and systolic and diastolic BP were further analyzed by smooth curve and multivariate linear regression analyses. Results: Our smooth curve analysis showed an almost linear correlation between blood vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol) levels and systolic and diastolic BP. Furthermore, we found that blood gamma-tocopherol levels were positively and independently associated with systolic BP (B=0.427, 95% CI 0.067-0.787, P=0.020) and diastolic BP (B=0.289, 95% CI 0.072-0.507, P=0.009) when the data were adjusted for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), ever smoked cigarettes regularly, number of years of consuming alcohol and regular exercise or activity for 20 minutes or more at least 3 times/week. Consistently, blood alpha-tocopherol levels were also positively associated with systolic BP (B=0.150, 95% CI 0.064-0.235, P=0.001) and diastolic BP (B=0.056, 95% CI 0.004-0.107, P=0.035) after these variables were adjusted. However, these significant relationships exist only in subjects without diabetes, but not in subjects with diabetes. Conclusions: We observed for the first time that blood vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol) levels were positively associated with systolic and diastolic BP in subjects without diabetes.
