Dietary diversity and adiposity in Chinese men and women: an analysis of four waves of cross-sectional survey data.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectiveIncreasing dietary diversity is concurrent with an increasing prevalence of adiposity in China, but the association between these variables remains ambiguous. This study reveals an association between dietary diversity and body mass (underweight, overweight and obesity) in Chinese adults. SUBJECTS/
methodsData from 17 825 participants (age, 18-65 years) were pooled from four survey waves (2004, 2006, 2009 and 2011) of the Chinese Health and Nutrition Survey. Anthropometric data and dietary intake information obtained through a 24-h dietary recall for 3 consecutive days were collected. Information on covariates, namely those regarding the socioeconomic status and lifestyle of each participant, were collected. The dietary diversity score (DDS) and entropy were used to represent dietary diversity. The association between dietary diversity and adiposity was analyzed by using multivariable-adjusted multinomial logistic regression.
resultsA positive association between dietary diversity and overweight was detected only in men (DDS: OR=1.09 (1.03-1.17); entropy: OR=1.60 (1.24-2.07)). The results were confirmed by analyzing the interaction between sex and diversity (DDS: OR=1.27 (1.17-1.37); entropy: OR=2.89 (2.11-3.89)). In contrast, no significant association was detected between dietary diversity and underweight/obesity (all P>0.05). Dietary consumption was compared between sexes to explain the different effects of dietary diversity on body mass in men and women. The results indicated that men typically had a higher consumption of meat (P<0.01).
conclusionsHigher dietary diversity is positively associated with overweight in men. Additional preventive strategies that promote a healthy diet should focus on men.
