Association between nutrient intake and peripheral artery disease: results from the InCHIANTI study.
Trial report in Atherosclerosis, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
backgroundLittle is known about the relationship between dietary patterns and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Our aim was to estimate the association between nutrient intake and diagnosis of PAD. METHODS AND
resultsWe assessed the nutrient intake of 1251 home-dwelling subjects enrolled in the InCHIANTI study, mean age 68 years (S.D.: 15). We explored the relationship between nutrient intake, obtained through the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) questionnaire, and PAD, defined as an ankle-brachial index (ABI)<0.90. After adjustment for potential confounders, we found a reduction of the risk of having an ABI<0.90 associated with vegetable lipid intake>or=34.4 g/day (OR: 0.39; 95% CI: 0.16-0.97), Vitamin E intake>or=7.726 mg/day (OR: 0.37; 95% CI 0.16-0.84) and higher serum HDL cholesterol concentration (OR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.63-0.92 for 10mg/dl increase). Age (OR: 1.11; 95% CI 1.07-1.14 for 1 year increase), smoking (OR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01-1.04 for 10 packs/year increase) and pulse pressure (OR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.03-1.19 for 5 mmHg increase) were associated with an increased risk of PAD.
conclusionsA higher intake of vegetable lipids, Vitamin E and higher concentrations of serum HDL cholesterol characterize subjects free from PAD. Prospective studies are needed to verify whether this dietary pattern and/or interventions aimed at increasing HDL cholesterol exert some protective effect against PAD.
