Composite dietary antioxidant index and lung cancer risk: insights from the UK biobank.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundPrevious studies provided inconsistent results on the effects of antioxidant intake on lung cancer prevention. This study aimed to investigate the association between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI), which calculated the dietary intake of manganese, selenium, zinc, vitamins A, C and E, and the risk of lung cancer.
methodsUsing prospective data from the UK Biobank, this study employed Cox proportional hazards regression models to evaluate the relationship between CDAI and lung cancer risk, and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to explore potential nonlinear associations. Multiplicative and additive interaction analyses were conducted to assess the joint effects of CDAI and smoking status on lung cancer risk.
resultsAmong 201,316 participants over a median follow-up of 11.8 years, 1,229 new cases of lung cancer were identified. Multivariate analysis showed that participants in the highest quartile of CDAI had a significantly lower risk of lung cancer (HR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.57-0.86; P < 0.001), compared with those in the lowest quartile. An interaction effect between CDAI and smoking status was noted (P = 0.001). Among former smokers, the hazard ratio was 4.58 (95% CI: 3.36-6.25; P = 8.42 × 10⁻
conclusionThis study revealed a significant link between increased dietary antioxidant intake and a reduced risk of lung cancer, particularly in former smokers.
