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

purposeAnthocyanin intake estimations in large cohorts include almost exclusively adults. For the purpose of early dietary prevention, however, it is of great interest to estimate anthocyanin intake of children and adolescents.

methodsAnthocyanidin content values from the USDA Database (excluding the values for bananas and nuts) were assigned to foods consumed by 4-18-year-old participants of the DONALD Study. Between 1990 and 2009, 920 participants provided 6,707 3-day weighed dietary records. Intake of anthocyanins (expressed as their aglycones anthocyanidins) and their food sources were determined. For investigating age and time trends in anthocyanidin density (mg/MJ), a polynomial mixed regression model was built.

resultsWe found the estimated median anthocyanidin intake to be around 6 mg/day, strawberries representing the main source. Anthocyanidin density of the diet was about 0.2 mg/MJ higher in girls than in boys, decreased with age, decreased over time in the first half of the study period and increased over time thereafter.

conclusionsAnthocyanin intake in the young is characterised by differences in anthocyanidin density of the diet between girls and boys and by decreasing density from young childhood to adolescence. Observations in this German study population should be extended by further studies in other countries.
