Association between methyl donor nutrients intake with sleep duration, sleep quality and biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation among adults.
Article in Nutrition journal, 2026. 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
objectiveSleep disorders could negatively affect physical and mental health status of adults. These consequences might occur through increased levels of oxidative stress and inflammation. This study was aimed to assess dietary intake of methyl donor nutrients with sleep quantity and quality, concentrations of oxidative stress and inflammation among adults.
methodsThis study was conducted with a cross-sectional design on 535 adults aged 20–65 years. A multilevel cluster random-sampling approach was applied to choose participants. Methyl donor nutrients intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Quantity and quality of sleep were evaluated through the validated Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire. Fasting blood samples of subjects were gathered to determine serum levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers.
resultsPrevalence of short sleeping and poor sleep quality among participants were 70.1% and 28.6%, respectively. High methyl donor nutrients score (MDNS) was inversely related to short sleeping in fully-adjusted model (OR = 0.42; 95% CI: 0.19–0.91). However, no significant association was observed in terms of poor sleep quality (OR = 0.70; 95% CI: 0.34–1.47). In addition, no significant associations were seen between MDNS with levels of glutathione peroxidase, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
conclusionsDietary intake of methyl donor nutrients was inversely associated with short sleeping, but not related to poor sleep quality. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm this finding.
