Dietary trace mineral intake and risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in population with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome stage 0-3: a cohort study.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. 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
backgroundAdequate intake of trace minerals may influence mortality risk in individuals with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome, although evidence remains limited.
methodsWe analyzed data from 10,412 participants with CKM stage 0 to 3 from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999 to 2018. Mortality outcomes were ascertained through linkage to the National Death Index through December 31, 2019. Dietary intakes of iron, zinc, copper, and selenium were assessed using 24-hour dietary recalls. Associations between trace mineral intake and mortality were evaluated using Cox proportional hazards models. Nonlinear associations were examined with restricted cubic spline analyses, and two-piecewise Cox proportional hazards models were fitted on either side of the identified inflection points.
resultsOver 1,129,579 person-months of follow-up, 1,134 all-cause deaths and 301 cardiovascular disease deaths occurred. Restricted cubic spline analyses showed L-shaped associations between trace mineral intake and all-cause mortality. The inflection points were 13 mg/day for iron, 9 mg/day for zinc, 1.7 mg/day for copper, and 118 µg/day for selenium. Iron and copper intakes were linearly and inversely associated with cardiovascular mortality. Among individuals with intakes below the inflection point, two-piecewise Cox proportional hazards models showed significant inverse associations between all-cause mortality and intakes of iron (HR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.91–0.97), zinc (HR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.90–0.99), copper (HR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.38–0.60), and selenium (HR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.99–0.99). Subgroup analyses indicated that the association for copper remained consistent across multiple subgroups.
conclusionsDietary trace mineral intake showed L-shaped associations with all-cause mortality among individuals with CKM stage 0 to 3. Iron and copper intakes were linearly and inversely associated with cardiovascular mortality.
