Dietary niacin intake and epilepsy: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Epilepsy & behavior reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aimed to examine the association between dietary niacin intake and the prevalence of epilepsy. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 14,236 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2018. Multivariable logistic regression, generalized additive models, and subgroup analyses were employed to assess the relationship. An inverse association was found between dietary niacin intake and the prevalence of epilepsy: for every 10 mg/day increase, the odds of having epilepsy were reduced by 15 % (OR = 0.85, p = 0.0266). Participants in the highest quintile of niacin intake had a significantly lower odds of epilepsy compared to those in the lowest quintile (OR = 0.45, p = 0.0187). This negative association remained consistent across groups with diverse demographic characteristics, medical conditions, and lifestyle choices. Our findings suggest a possible inverse association between dietary niacin intake and the prevalence of epilepsy.
