Nonlinear L-shaped association between composite dietary antioxidant index and risk of dementia: a prospective cohort study.

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
Objective: Dietary intake of antioxidants may decrease risk of dementia. However, the relationship between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and dementia, has not yet been explored. This study investigated the relationship between CDAI and risk of dementia and to explore potential mediators of the relationship. Methods: Data were extracted from the prospective UK Biobank on 157,742 dementia-free participants, who were followed up for a median of 13.39 yr. Potential associations between CDAI at enrollment and subsequent development of all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's dementia or vascular dementia were assessed using Cox proportional hazards regression. Potential non-linear associations were explored using restricted cubic spline analysis. Exploratory analyses were performed to assess whether blood inflammatory markers and cortical/subcortical gray matter volumes accounted for part of the associations, using multivariable linear regression and mediation analyses. Results: During follow-up, 791 people developed Alzheimer's dementia, 322 developed vascular dementia, and 709 developed other types of dementia. Higher CDAI was significantly associated with lower risk of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer's dementia, and the association was stronger in women than in men (p for interaction < 0.05). The association was nonlinear and L-shaped (nonlinear Conclusions: CDAI may relate to risk of dementia in an L-shaped manner. Exploratory analyses suggested a possible role of systemic inflammation in this association.
