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

The incidence of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), primarily Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, has been steadily increasing, constituting a significant global public health challenge. This study aims to evaluate the associations between dietary flavonoid intake and the risk of NDs. Data from 13,573 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed. Weighted logistic regression, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, weighted restricted cubic splines, subgroup analysis, and sensitivity analysis were employed to assess the associations. Overall, higher total flavonoid intake was associated with lower odds of NDs after adjustment for demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle, and clinical covariates (Q4 vs. Q1: OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.31-0.90). Among flavonoid subclasses, flavones (Q4 vs. Q1: OR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.30-0.79) and flavonols (Q4 vs. Q1: OR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.33-0.86) showed the strongest inverse associations. In addition, restricted cubic spline analyses demonstrated significant non-linear relationships, with the lowest odds of NDs observed at intake levels of approximately 432 mg/day for total flavonoids, 1.7 mg/day for flavones, and 29 mg/day for flavonols. These findings suggest that moderate intake of flavonoids, particularly flavones and flavonols, may contribute to the observed inverse association between flavonoid intake and NDs.
