The association between dietary intakes of nitrate with nitrite from animal and plant food sources and the incidence of metabolic syndrome: a prospective study.

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
aimIn the current study the potential effect of dietary nitrate (NO3)/nitrite (NO2) on the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) was investigated.
methodsTotal of 1911 men and women (mean age of 37.5 ± 12.8 and 58.9% women), participated in the third (2006–2008) examinations of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS), were included and followed up to 2018–2022. A semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used at baseline to estimate dietary intakes of NO3 and NO2. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of incidence of MetS across quartile categories of NO3 and NO2 dietary intakes.
resultsMean (SD) daily intake of NO3 and NO2 were 436 (246) mg/d and 9.5 (4.7) mg/d, which were mostly derived from plant sources (95.2% and 56.1% respectively). The highest compared to the lowest quartile of total and plant-based dietary NO3 was accompanied with a significant decreased risk of MetS (HR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.54–0.98, HR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.56-1.00); however, no significant association was observed between animal-based NO3 intakes and incidence of MetS. Morover, no significant association between total, plant-based and animal-based dietary intakes of NO2 and the incidence of MetS was found.
conclusionHigher total and plant-based NO3 intakes may reduce risk of MetS in adults.
