Adherence to dietary guidelines and mortality: a report from prospective cohort studies of 134,000 Chinese adults in urban Shanghai.
Synthesis in The American journal of clinical nutrition, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06988501 (The Effect of Goal Setting With Mobile-based Self-management Tool on Improving Diet Quality of People With High Blood Pressure), which is not on this map. Cited by 89 papers, 10 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.

Abstract
backgroundA higher adherence to dietary recommendations, such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) and the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI), has been associated with lower morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases in Western populations. However, the health benefits of following the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese remain unknown.
objectiveWe examined adherence to the Chinese Food Pagoda (CHFP) in association with total and cause-specific mortality and compared associations with those of the DASH and AHEI.
designParticipants included 61,239 men and 73,216 women (aged 40-74 y) from 2 population-based prospective studies in Shanghai, China. Habitual dietary intakes were assessed at baseline in-person interviews by using validated food-frequency questionnaires. Deaths and underlying causes were identified through the Shanghai Vital Statistics Registry and follow-up home visits.
resultsWe documented 2954 deaths in men and 4348 deaths in women during mean follow-ups of 6.5 and 12.0 y, respectively. A higher CHFP score was associated with lower total mortality with multivariable-adjusted HRs of 0.67 (95% CI: 0.60, 0.75) in men and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.80, 0.95) in women when extreme quartiles were compared (both P-trend < 0.005). Decreased risks associated with a higher CHFP score were observed for cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes mortality, particularly in men. A significantly lower total mortality was shown for adherence to specific recommendations on vegetables, fruit, legumes, fish, and eggs but not grains, dairy, meat, fat, and salt. A higher DASH score and AHEI also predicted lower mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes but not cancer.
conclusionsA greater compliance with Chinese or US dietary guidelines is associated with lower total mortality in Chinese adults. Favorable associations are more evident in men than women and more consistent for cardiometabolic mortality than cancer mortality.
