Dietary total antioxidant capacity and its dietary sources in association with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a case-control study.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 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
backgroundTotal antioxidant capacity (TAC) indicates the quality of individuals' diet. It has been proposed as a valuable measure for evaluating the potential protective effects of dietary antioxidants. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between the dietary TAC and odds of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Yazd, Iran.
methodsThis case-control study included 115 patients diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and 102 age- and sex-matched controls without NAFLD, all recruited from the same medical clinic. After 12 h of fasting, serum concentration of liver enzymes, fasting blood glucose and lipid profile of case and control groups were measured. To evaluate the participants' dietary intake during the past year a semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire which was validated for Iranian population, were used.
resultsThere was no significant association between TAC and the risk of NAFLD in the whole population. However, risk of NAFLD in men those in top tertile of vegetable oil TAC were higher than men in the lowest tertile in crude model (OR = 3.81, CI: 1.19-12.2; P = 0.01). This relationship was attenuated and no longer statistically significant after adjusting for confounding variables.
conclusionsIn the current study, no significant association was observed between NAFLD and dietary TAC, although in men who had a higher intake of vegetable oil TAC, a higher risk of NAFLD was observed. Further well-designed prospective studies are warranted to clarify these relationships.
