Cross-sectional association of oxidative balance score with cataract among US adults: NHANES 1999-2008.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of cataracts. As a comprehensive indicator of an individual's oxidative stress status, OBS integrates dietary antioxidant intake and lifestyle factors, providing a holistic assessment of oxidative-antioxidative balance. However, research on the association between OBS and cataracts remains limited. Therefore, our study aims to bridge this research gap and provide novel epidemiological evidence supporting the role of oxidative stress in cataract prevention. Methods: A total of 13,409 subjects from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 1999 and 2008 were selected. The OBS was calculated based on 16 dietary factors and 4 lifestyle factors. Weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were employed to assess the association between OBS and cataract. Results: The prevalence of cataract was found to be 12.2%. The restricted cubic spline analysis did not support a non-linear association between OBS and the prevalence of cataract ( Conclusion: The OBS demonstrated a strong negative correlation with cataract prevalence. These results underscore the importance of adhering to an antioxidant-rich diet and lifestyle for cataract prevention, as well as the need to consider individual and population-specific factors in future research and prevention strategies.
