Trial reportJournal of nutrition education and behavior
Sex, age, and race/ethnicity do not modify the effectiveness of a diet intervention among family members of hospitalized cardiovascular disease patients.
Trial report in Journal of nutrition education and behavior. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00728637 (Effectiveness of a Family Heart Health Intervention Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo determine whether effectiveness of a diet intervention for family members of cardiovascular disease patients varies by participant sex, race/ethnicity, or age because these characteristics have been associated with unique barriers to diet change.
designRandomized controlled trial. SETTING AND
participantsUniversity medical center. Healthy adult family members of patients hospitalized with cardiovascular disease (n = 501; 66% women; 36% racial/ethnic minorities; mean age 48 years).
interventionA special screening and educational intervention (SI) vs control intervention (CI) to reduce dietary saturated fat and cholesterol intake throughout 1 year.
main outcome measuresAbsolute change in MEDFICTS (meats, eggs, dairy, fried foods, fat in baked goods, convenience foods, fats added at the table and snacks) diet score, saturated fat, and dietary cholesterol in the SI vs CI from baseline to 1 year. ANALYSIS: t tests stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, and age group; linear regression. Significance set at P < .05.
resultsThe SI was effective to improve MEDFICTS score independent of sex, race/ethnicity, and age group (β = -6.7; P < .001). There was no interaction between the SI and sex (β = .9; P = .84), race/ethnicity (β = -1.1; P = .81), or age group (β = -.6; P = .89) on change in MEDFICTS score or change in saturated fat or dietary cholesterol intake from baseline to 1 year. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Results support the potential for a hospital-based screening and education program to improve diet in diverse populations of cardiovascular disease patient family members.
