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: Oxidative stress, as quantified by the Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) reflecting the balance between antioxidant and pro-oxidant exposures, plays a pivotal role in kidney function. This study aims to investigate the association between OBS and kidney function, examining gender, diabetes, and hypertension as potential effect modifiers. Methods: Cross-sectional data from 9,343 participants in Fujian Province (2020-2021) were analyzed. OBS was calculated using 10 dietary and lifestyle components. Logistic regression assessed associations between OBS and kidney function, stratified by gender, diabetes, and hypertension, with interaction terms. Mediation analysis evaluated the role of neutrophil-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (NHR) and platelet-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (PHR). Results: OBS was inversely associated with low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in hypertensive women without diabetes (odds ratio (OR) = 0.58, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.39-0.86]). A similar inverse association was observed in normotensive (OR = 0.47, 95% CI [0.25-0.86]) men and prehypertensive men (OR = 0.52, 95% CI [0.33-0.81]), independent of diabetes status. Additionally, a significant interaction between OBS and hypertension in men suggested a hypertension-dependent effect. Mediation analysis further indicated that the NHR and PHR accounted for 19.37% and 13.04% of the OBS effects on albuminuria, respectively. NHR also accounted for 9.41% of the association between OBS and low eGFR among normotensive and prehypertensive men. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the importance of considering gender and hypertension status when evaluating the association between OBS and kidney function, particularly in normotensive and prehypertensive men.
