Negative association between oxidative balance score and stroke prevalence in US adults with metabolic syndrome: mediating roles of HDL-C and NHHR.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) populations are at increased risk of stroke, and oxidative stress is an important pathogenesis of stroke. The oxidative balance score (OBS) is an emerging tool for the assessment of an individual's overall oxidative balance. We aimed to investigate the association of OBS with stroke in the MetS population through NHANES 1999-2018.
methodsOBS consisted of dietary OBS and lifestyle OBS and were assessed by validated methods. MetS was assessed by NCEP-ATP III criteria, whereas stroke was assessed according to self-report. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to explore these associations and to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsA total of 6125 MetS participants were included. After adjusting for all confounders, OBS was negatively associated with the odds of stroke (OR 0.937, 95% CI 0.916-0.959, p < 0.0001). Compared to Q1, OBS at Q3 and Q4 was associated with significantly lower stroke prevalence (OR 0.580 and 0.370, respectively; p for trend < 0.0001). Similar findings were found for dietary and lifestyle OBS. OBS and dietary OBS were nonlinearly associated with stroke, whereas lifestyle OSB was linearly associated. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio significantly mediated the association between OBS and stroke in MetS, with mediation percentages of 16.51% and 13.67%, respectively. Education level and coronary heart disease influenced the association.
conclusionsOBS was negatively associated with stroke prevalence in the MetS, and certain serum lipid profiles mediated this association. Adherence to an antioxidant diet and lifestyle can help reduce stroke in MetS.
