Exposure to perchlorate, nitrate and thiocyanate was associated with the prevalence of hypertension.

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
backgroundOur study aims to examinate the relationships between exposure to perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate and the risk of hypertension.
methodsA total of 21,321 participants were selected from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES). We used logistic regressions models to explore the odds ratio of urinary perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate on the risk of hypertension and restricted cubic splines to check the nonlinearity.
results2851 (13.4%) individuals were diagnosed with hypertension. Multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested that urinary perchlorate and nitrate were inversely associated with hypertension, and thiocyanate has a positive correlation. Compared with the lowest quartile, the highest quartile of odds ratios was 0.86 (0.74-1.00; P = 0.048) for perchlorate, 0.79 (0.67-0.94; P = 0.007) for nitrate, and 1.47 (1.25-1.73; P < 0.001) for thiocyanate. Restricted cubic splines showed that urinary perchlorate was nonlinearly associated with hypertension (P = 0.0014).
conclusionsHigher exposure to perchlorate and nitrate were associated with a lower risk of hypertension, while a positive association was observed for urinary thiocyanate.
