Dietary Iron Intake and Mental and Behavioral Disorders Due to Use of Tobacco: A UK Biobank Study.
Article in Nutrients, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundOver 1 billion smokers worldwide, one-third of whom have mental and behavioral disorders, exist. However, factors influencing mental and behavioral disorders due to the use of tobacco remain largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate the relationship between dietary iron intake and mental and behavioral disorders due to the use of tobacco.
methodsUsing large population cohort data from the UK Biobank (500,000 participants at 22 assessment centers between 2006 and 2010), we employed logistic and Cox regression analyses to explore both cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between dietary iron intake and mental and behavioral disorders due to the use of tobacco. Additionally, we assessed the nonlinear relationship between dietary iron intake and these disorders using restricted cubic spline plots.
resultsLogistic regression analysis indicated that dietary iron intake was negatively associated with mental and behavioral disorders due to the use of tobacco. The Cox regression results supported a protective effect of increased dietary iron intake against these disorders. Stratified and sensitivity analyses were consistent with the primary findings. Restricted cubic spline plots revealed a nonlinear relationship between dietary iron intake and mental and behavioral disorders due to the use of tobacco. In the total sample, as well as in both age groups and the male subgroup, the risk reduction rate initially accelerated before slowing down. In contrast, the risk reduction rate in the female group declined rapidly at first and then leveled off.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that dietary iron intake has a protective effect against mental and behavioral disorders due to the use of tobacco, revealing a nonlinear association between these two traits. These findings provide important insights for the profilaxy and treatment of mental and behavioral disorders due to the use of tobacco in the future.
