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: The decline in pulmonary function among older adults is a widespread issue, lacking specific dietary guidelines for optimising respiratory health. Methods: Data from the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study (GBCS) and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analysed to assess the association of the Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI) with key pulmonary function indicators in individuals aged 50 and older. Results: The study included 8640 participants from GBCS and 4029 from NHANES, with a mean age of 62.5 years. After adjusting for confounders, higher CDAI scores were significantly linked to increased forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV Conclusions: Higher CDAI scores correlate with improved pulmonary function, particularly in women and older adults, underscoring the need for dietary recommendations that emphasise antioxidant-rich foods to enhance respiratory health and support healthy ageing.
