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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThe association of niacin intake with dyslipidemia remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to explore the association between dietary niacin intake and the prevalence of dyslipidemia among adults in the United States (US). METHODS AND STUDY

designData were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2005 and 2014. The exposure variable was dietary niacin intake, measured through 24-hour dietary recall interviews and treated as both a continuous and categorical variable. Dyslipidemia, defined by diagnostic criteria, was the outcome. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models were applied to examine the association between niacin intake and the prevalence of dyslipidemia.

resultsAmong the 19,275 individuals, the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 78.8%. Compared with individuals with lower niacin consumption Q1 (≤15.9 mg/day), the adjusted OR values for dietary niacin intake and dyslipidemia in Q3 (22.7-31.8 mg/day) and Q4 (≥31.8 mg/day) were 0.78 (95% CI: 0.64-0.94, p = 0.011) and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.61-0.98, p = 0.033), respectively. The association between niacin intake and the prevalence of dyslipidemia followed a L-shaped dose-response curve (non-linear, p = 0.009). Participants with a niacin intake of <22.3 mg/day exhibited an OR of 0.98 (95% CI: 0.96-0.99, p = 0.040) for dyslipidemia. In subgroup analyses, the inverse associations of niacin intake with the prevalence of dyslipidemia remained robust only in female.

conclusionsIn the 2005-2014 NHANES popu-lation, higher levels of niacin intake were associated with decreased odds of dyslipidemia overall. Further studies are needed to examine the potential protective effects of niacin on dyslipidemia risk.
