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
backgroundOxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma, and by assessing the Dietary Oxidative Balance Score (DOBS), an individual's antioxidant status can be reflected. This article aims to investigate the correlation of DOBS with glaucoma using 2005-2008 NHANES data.
methodsThe cross-sectional research involved participants aged 20 years or older who finished the NHANES interview on dietary intake and the vision and eye health questionnaire. DOBS was derived from 16 dietary factors, and the self-reported glaucoma diagnosis was employed. To investigate the correlation between DOBS and glaucoma, weighted logistic regression and sensitivity analyses were carried out utilizing propensity score matching (PSM), and the potential nonlinear correlations were examined using restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves.
resultsOur study involved 4909 participants in total. Following adjustment for all covariates, logistic regression indicated that each unit increase in DOBS was linked to a 4% decrease in the risk of glaucoma (OR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.92, 0.99, p = 0.02). Upon converting DOBS to a categorical variable, a negative correlation was found between DOBS and self-reported glaucoma in Q4 (OR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.19, 0.79, p = 0.013) vs. Q1. RCS curves indicated that DOBS was significantly, negatively, and linearly correlated with the prevalence of glaucoma (Nonlinearity p-value = 0.493).
conclusionIn an analysis of the NHANES database, our study concluded that a higher Dietary Oxidative Balance Score (DOBS) was significantly associated with a lower prevalence of glaucoma. This suggests that an antioxidant-rich diet may help prevent glaucoma.
