Composite dietary antioxidant index mediates the effect of epilepsy on psychiatric disorders: results from NHANES 2013-2018.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: Psychiatric disorders is a major public health problem and epilepsy contributes significantly to depression. We aimed to explore the relationship between dietary patterns and mental illness in patients with epilepsy. Methods: The data presented here are based on the 2013-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In this study, the t-test and chi-square tests or one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were employed for the analysis of continuous and categorical variables, respectively. Restricted cubic splines (RCSs) with four knots were employed to investigate the linear relationship and trend between the Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI) and epilepsy and psychiatric disorders, respectively. In instances where the linear relationship was not deemed to be applicable, the CDAI was categorized into four groups based on quartiles. A logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the relationship between epilepsy and mental disorders under four distinct models. A mediation analysis was employed to ascertain whether CDAI acted as a mediator in the relationship between epilepsy and mental disorders. Results: Patients with epilepsy had a significantly lower CDAI ( Conclusion: Our findings suggest that patients with epilepsy have a high risk of developing psychiatric disorders and that the Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI) plays a key role in mediating the relationship between epilepsy and psychiatric disorders.
