Interaction effects of dietary carotenoid intake and gamma-glutamyl transferase level on the prevalence of stroke in older adults.

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
backgroundThe possible interaction between dietary carotenoid intake and blood gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels in patients with stroke has not been well studied. We investigated the effect of the interaction between dietary carotenoid intake and blood GGT levels on the prevalence of stroke.
methodsUsing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2018, we conducted a cross-sectional study that included individuals residing in the United States and aged ≥60 years. Univariate logistic regression, multivariate-adjusted logistic regression, and restricted cubic spline methods were used to assess the correlation between GGT levels, dietary carotenoid intake, and the prevalence of stroke. Finally, the relative excess risk of interactions, attributable proportion, and synergy index were used to assess additive interactions.
resultsIn total, 11,146 participants were enrolled in this observational study. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models adjusted for all covariates revealed that GGT was nonlinearly and positively associated with the prevalence of stroke. In contrast, carotenoid intake was linearly and negatively associated with stroke prevalence. Further, the additive interaction results showed a synergistic effect of low dietary carotenoid intake and high blood GGT levels on the prevalence of stroke.
conclusionsFor individuals residing in the United States and aged ≥60 years, blood GGT levels were positively correlated and dietary carotenoid intake was negatively correlated with the prevalence of stroke. Low dietary carotenoid intake and high blood GGT levels have a synergistic effect on the prevalence of stroke.
