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

backgroundA priori diet scores such as the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) and the food-based a priori diet quality score predict chronic disease risk.

objectiveWe compared the AHEI and a priori diet quality score relative to mortality.

designPostmenopausal women who were free of diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer in the Iowa Women's Health Study (in 1986, n = 29,634 with a mean 6 SD age of 61.4 6 4.2 y; in 2004, n = 15,076 with a mean 6 SD age of 79.7 6 4.0 y). A food-frequency questionnaire was used. Through 31 December 2008, 10,343 total, 3646 CVD, 3207 cancer, and 2888 inflammatory-related deaths were identified through record linkage. HRs were computed for quartiles of each diet score at baseline and 2004. To compare scores, the residual of each score given the other score was computed by using linear regression.

resultsAt baseline, indexes had a correlation of 0.65. For the AHEI, the multivariable-adjusted HRs (95% CIs) for total, CVD, cancer, and inflammatory-related mortality were 0.82 (0.77, 0.87), 0.79 (0.72, 0.88), 0.88 (0.79, 0.98), and 0.76 (0.68, 0.84), respectively. The a priori score had corresponding HRs of 0.80 (0.76, 0.85), 0.79 (0.72, 0.88), 0.86 (0.77, 0.95), and 0.75 (0.67, 0.84), respectively. Each score added information to the other score for total, CVD mortality, and inflammatory-related mortality. In 2004, both scores predicted total, CVD, and inflammatory-related mortality, and the a priori score also predicted cancer mortality. The a priori score added independent information for all outcomes except cancer, whereas the AHEI added information only for total mortality.

conclusionTwo correlated diet quality scores predicted total and disease-specific mortality, but their residuals also predicted complementarily.
