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
IntroductionThis study analyzed data from the 2023 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to identify sex-specific factors associated with dietary supplement use among Korean adults.MethodsThe study population comprised 2,517 males and 3,275 females aged 19 years and older. Differences in participant characteristics and dietary supplement use according to sex, as well as sex-specific differences in supplement use according to participant characteristics, were examined using complex sample cross-tabulation analyses. Complex-sample logistic regression analyses were conducted separately for males and females to identify factors associated with dietary supplement use.ResultsAmong males, marital status (OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.05-1.73), participation in health screenings (OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.19-1.93), weight control (OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.10-1.66), and awareness of nutrition labeling (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.01-1.64) were significantly associated with dietary supplement use. Among females, education level (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.01-1.54), marital status (OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.10-1.96), participation in health screenings (OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.16-1.80), stress level (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.10-1.78), body shape perception (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.02-1.68), weight control (OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.11-1.75), moderate-intensity leisure-time physical activity (OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.02-1.56), and breakfast frequency (OR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.28-1.98) were significantly associated with dietary supplement use. These findings suggest that the factors associated with dietary supplement use differ by sex.ConclusionThese findings may provide preliminary evidence for the development of sex-specific educational or counseling strategies regarding safe and appropriate dietary supplement use.
