Evaluating the relationship between dietary flavonoids intake and constipation incidence in the general US population.

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
backgroundDietary adjustment has consistently been regarded as an effective and health way for both the prevention and treatment of constipation. Several researches suggest a significant correlation between dietary flavonoids intake and gut microbiota, while the relationship between dietary flavonoids and constipation has not been reported. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between flavonoids intake and constipation.
methodsThis cross-sectional analysis was based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collected from 2007 to 2010. The dietary flavonoid and subclasses intake value were obtained from the United States Department of Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS), while constipation was defined using the stool consistency or frequency. Relationships between total and six main flavonoid subclasses intake constipation were investigated using weighted logistic regression approach.
resultsThe study revealed a negative association between isoflavones, anthocyanidins, flavanones, flavones, flavonols, and total flavonoid intake and constipation, with significant p-trends of < 0.05. Following multivariate adjustment, decreased odds of constipation could still be observed in the highest quartiles of anthocyanidins compared with those in the reference quartiles (p-value = 0.03). Ln-transformed anthocyanidins exhibited a statistically significant nonlinear association with constipation, displaying an inverted U-shaped pattern. When anthocyanidins intake exceeded 0.92 mg, the rate of constipation trended downward with increases in anthocyanidins intake.
conclusionsOur study demonstrated that higher dietary flavonoids intake can reduce the incidence of constipation in the adult US population. In addition, the negative association between anthocyanin intake and constipation was more stable compared to other subclasses.
