Association of Dietary Intake of Vitamin A With Adolescent Hypertension: A Cross-Sectional Study Based on NHANES 1999-2018.

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
We aimed to investigate the association between dietary intake of vitamin A and risk of hypertension during adolescence. We interrogated the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, from which individual-level data on dietary intake of vitamin A were garnered from 13,909 adolescents (aged 10-19 years) participating in the 1999-2018 study cycle. After dividing vitamin A intake into four quartiles, we leveraged weighted multivariate logistic regression to investigate the association of vitamin A intake with hypertension by each quartile, with the restricted cubic spline (RCS) curve plotted to assess the nonlinearity of association. Additionally, we performed subgroup analysis to examine whether gender remarkably affects vitamin A's effect on hypertension. Of all the adolescent participants, 1477 (10.6%) were found to have hypertension. Following thorough adjustments for confounding factors, per 1-SD increment in vitamin A intake was associated with a 23%, 26%, and 31% reduction in the risk of hypertension for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quartiles, respectively. Consistently, the RCS curve indicated that the risk of adolescent hypertension presented a decreasing trend as vitamin A intake creeped up. Intriguingly, gender-stratified subgroup analysis demonstrated that the observed association between vitamin A and adolescent hypertension was more pronounced in boys. Together, our findings outlined vitamin A as a protective dietary factor against hypertension among US adolescents. When using vitamin A supplements for preventing hypertension, boys may gain more practical benefits.
