The effect of fiber intake on the association of pesticide exposure and hypertension: a population-level 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
The association between pesticide exposure and the risk of hypertension is inconsistent. Moreover, little is known about the effects of dietary fiber intake on the association between pesticide exposure and the risk of hypertension. This study aimed to assess whether fiber intake alters the relationship between pesticide exposure and hypertension. The study included 14,218 American adult patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between pesticide exposure and the risk of hypertension. We also examined the relationship between pesticide metabolites in urine specimens and hypertension. Participants were stratified based on their mean fiber intake (low fiber intake: <17 gm and high fiber intake: ≥17 gm). An interaction test between dietary fiber intake, pesticide exposure, and risk of hypertension was conducted. Exposure to pesticides increased the risk of hypertension in the crude and full-adjusted models, and their odds ratio (ORs) [95% Confidence Interval (CI)] were 1.40 (1.26-1.56) and 1.19 (1.05-1.34), respectively. The analysis of pesticide metabolites indicated that dimethyldithiophosphate was statistically associated with hypertension (OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 1.01-1.02). The association between pesticide exposure and hypertension was opposite among participants in low and high fiber intake groups, OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.14-1.58 vs. OR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.80-1.20, respectively, which implied that a high fiber intake may decrease the risk of hypertension (interaction likelihood ratio test:
