Association between composite dietary antioxidant index and Epstein-Barr virus infection in children aged 6-19 years in the United States: from the national health and nutrition examination survey 2007-2010.

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
Objective: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a globally prevalent herpes virus associated with multiple diseases. Oxidative stress is closely related to EBV infection, latency, reactivation, and transformation. Antioxidant diet protects against EBV infection. Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI), serving as a key measure of antioxidant intake, is a summary score of six dietary antioxidants, including vitamins A, C, and E, carotenoid, selenium, and zinc. Despite this, the association between CDAI and EBV infection remains uncertain. Methods: The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between CDAI and EBV infection using cross-sectional data from 3,318 children aged 6-19 years who participated in the American National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2007 and 2010. Data on EBV results, CDAI, and several other essential variables were analyzed. Results: Compared with that of individuals in Q3 (-1.627--0.2727) in the multivariate weighted logistic regression model with full adjustment for confounding variables, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) for CDAI and EBV infection in those in Q1 (-6.613 - -2.9157), Q2 (-2.9158--1.626), Q4 (-0.2728-1.7601), and Q5 (1.7602-21.419) was 1.41 (95% CI: 1.01-1.96, Conclusion: Our results indicated that the association between CDAI and EBV infection in U.S. adolescents follows a U-shaped curve, with an inflection point around -0.81.This suggests that an antioxidant-rich diet in some amount could help reduce the risk of EBV infection. Future prospective and experimental studies are needed to confirm causality and clarify the exact mechanism concerning antioxidant diets with EBV infection.
