Longitudinal study of psychopathological, anthropometric and sociodemographic factors related to the level of Mediterranean diet adherence in a community sample of Spanish adolescents.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe Mediterranean diet (MD) pattern has important health benefits; however, it seems that Spanish school-aged children have been abandoning this healthy pattern recently. We aimed to identify psychopathological, anthropometric and sociodemographic factors that may influence the risk of low MD adherence.
designLongitudinal study in three phases. MD adherence was assessed using the Krece Plus food questionnaire and psychopathological symptoms using the Screen for Childhood Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders, Children's Depression Inventory, Youth's Inventory-4 and Eating Disorder Inventory-2. Anthropometric data were collected in the first and third phases. Settings All five representative areas in Reus, Spain. SUBJECTS: Adolescents (n 241).
resultsRegardless of past and current BMI, socio-economic status was a protective factor for low MD adherence (OR=0·805, P=0·003) and a risk factor for high BMI (OR=0·718, P=0·002; OR=0·707, P=0·001). Regardless of socio-economic status, depression was involved with risk of low adherence (OR=1·069, P=0·021). Girls with lower MD adherence presented significantly higher scores for eating disorders measured using the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 (low adherence, mean 18·9 (sd 13·5); high adherence, mean 8·9 (sd 9·0), P=0·020) and the Youth Inventory-4 (low adherence, mean 5·2 (sd 4·3); medium adherence, mean 3·6 (sd 3·2), P=0·044). They also presented higher depression symptoms (low adherence, mean 17·7 (sd 9·6); medium adherence, mean 12·3 (sd 7·2), P=0·01) than girls with high adherence.
conclusionsThe results highlight the influence of psychosocial factors on levels of MD adherence. These factors need to be taken into account when developing prevention and health promotion initiatives.
