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

backgroundFlavonoids are believed to have potential anti-aging effects due to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, the effectiveness of dietary flavonoids and their subclasses in delaying aging has yet to be confirmed. Our study intends to examine relationship between them.

methodsData from three survey cycles (2007-2008, 2009-2010, and 2017-2018) of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was used to investigate the relationship between PhenoAgeAccel and dietary flavonoid intake. Weighted linear regression was conducted to evaluate the relationship between dietary flavonoid intake and PhenoAgeAccel, and the dose-response relationship was investigated by limited cubic spline (RCS) analysis. Mixed effects were explored using weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression. Further, the subgroup analyses were also conducted.

resultsA total of 5391 participants were included, after multivariable adjustments, a negative association was found with total dietary flavonoid, flavan-3-ols, flavanone, flavones and flavonols with a β (95% CI) of -0.87 ( -1.61, -0.13), -0.83 (-1.95, -0.08), -1.18 (-1.98, -0.39), -1.64 (-2.52, -0.77) and - 1.18 (-1.98, -0.39) for the higher quintile compared to the lowest quintile. The RCS analysis show a non-linear relationship between flavan-3-ols (P for nonlinear = 0.024), flavanones (P for nonlinear = 0.005), flavones (P for nonlinear < 0.001), flavonols (P for nonlinear < 0.001) and total flavonoid intake (P for nonlinear < 0.001) and PhenoAgeAccel. WQS regression indicated that flavones had the primary effect on the mixture exposures (52.72%). Finally, the subgroup analysis indicated that participants without chronic kidney disease are more likely to benefit from dietary flavanone and flavone intake in mitigating aging, while the benefits of flavanone intake are more significant in participants with a lower body mass index.

conclusionOur study suggested that dietary flavonoid intake is negatively associated with accelerating aging in adults of American, and the most influential ones are flavones, flavanones, flavan-3-ols and flavonols.
