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
Purpose: Heart failure (HF) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality among males and females worldwide. However, the difference in predisposition, progression, and management of HF between males and females remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary carotenoid intake and HF using data from a nationally representative sample of adults in the US. Patients and methods: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was conducted from 2009 to 2018. A total of 22,119 participants (10,519 males and 11,600 females) aged 20-80 years were included in this study. Logistic regression analyses and smooth curve fitting were used to explore the association between carotenoid intake and the risk of HF in males and females. Results: The odd ratios with 95% confidence intervals of dietary carotenoid intake for individuals with current HF, after adjusting for confounders in the model were 0.34 (0.13, 0.85; Conclusions: Higher dietary carotenoid intake was associated with lower odds of having current HF in US females but not in males. However, this was a cross-sectional study, no causal relationship could be drawn, and the results should be interpreted with caution.
