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

Objective: To evaluate the association between dietary flavonoid intake and hypertension using nationally representative data, considering increasing global hypertension prevalence and inconsistent evidence on flavonoids' protective effects. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed 8,054 adults aged ≥20 years from NHANES 2007-2010 and 2017-2018. Flavonoid intake was assessed through two 24-hour dietary recalls and categorized into quartiles. Hypertension was defined by blood pressure ≥130/80 mmHg or self-reported diagnosis/medication use. Logistic regression models with progressive adjustment, restricted cubic spline regression for dose-response relationships, and subgroup analyses were conducted, accounting for complex sampling design. Results: After full adjustment, participants in the highest quartile of total flavonoid intake showed 25% lower odds of hypertension compared to the lowest quartile (OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.60-0.93, Conclusion: Moderate dietary flavonoid intake, particularly anthocyanidins and flavan-3-ols, is inversely associated with hypertension risk. These associations vary significantly by age and metabolic status, suggesting potential for individualized dietary recommendations for hypertension prevention.
