1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, the relationship between Omega-3 intake and the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the potential association between Omega-3 fatty acid intake and SIRI. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using comprehensive data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for 2005-2018, assessing total Omega-3 fatty acid intake and SIRI among adults. SIRI was calculated using the formula monocyte × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count. The total dietary intake of Omega-3 fatty acids was calculated by summing the intakes of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Subgroup analysis, smoothed curve fitting, and segmented linear regression were employed to investigate the relationship between SIRI and Omega-3 fatty acid consumption across genders. Results: A total of 26,416 participants were included in the study. Participants were classified into quartiles of Omega-3 fatty acid intake: 0-0.014, 0.015-0.037, 0.037-0.093, and 0.093-5.215. The participants' SIRI ranged from 1.242 ± 0.916, with levels decreasing as Omega-3 fatty acid intake quartiles increased (Q1: 1.27 ± 0.88; Q2: 1.27 ± 1.01; Q3: 1.25 ± 0.91; Q4: 1.18 ± 0.87, Conclusion: A negative association may exist between SIRI and the consumption of omega-3 fatty. Further extensive studies are still needed to analyze their interaction.
