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: While individual associations of dietary vitamins with cognitive function have been widely studied, the combined role of vitamin B2 and E remains poorly understood. This study investigates their interactive effects on cognitive performance in older adults. Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis of 2,497 participants (age ≥60 years) from NHANES 2011-2014, cognitive function was assessed using the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), with low performance defined as DSST scores <33 (lowest quartile). Dietary intake of vitamins B2 and E was derived from two 24-h recalls. Multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for sociodemographic, lifestyle, and clinical covariates examined independent and joint associations, with interaction effects quantified using product terms. Results: Following comprehensive adjustment, elevated dietary intake of vitamin B2 [odds ratio (OR) = 0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.58-0.95] and vitamin E (OR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.56-0.94) was independently associated with diminished odds of low cognitive function. A significant multiplicative interaction was observed (OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.05-1.26; Conclusion: Our findings highlight a dose-dependent interplay between vitamins B2 and E in modulating cognitive performance, advocating for dietary guidelines to prioritize nutrient interaction patterns in aging populations.
