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: Dietary inflammation and oxidative stress have been linked to reproductive health, and weight gain has also been found to play an important role in female reproductive function specifically. In this study we explore the effects of dietary inflammatory index (DII) and dietary oxidative balance score (DOBS) on infertility and sex hormones, and clarify the mediating role of obesity on these effects. Methods: A total of 1,774 subjects from the 2013-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were selected. The DII and DOBS were determined by aggregating data on 26 and 17 dietary components obtained by dietary recall, respectively. Infertility (yes or no, self-reported in questionnaire) and serum gonadal hormones including total testosterone (TT), estradiol (E Results: The prevalence of infertility among American women of childbearing age was 12.66%. There were significant linear relationships between the DII and DOBS, and infertility and serum SHBG ( Conclusions: Dietary inflammation and oxidative stress are strongly associated with the risk of infertility and serum SHBG levels, indicating that anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative diets may mitigate fertility disorders that result from obesity.
