Influence of Dietary Patterns and Inflammatory Markers on Atherosclerosis Using Ankle Brachial Index as a Surrogate.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2018. 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
objectiveTo examine the influence of various dietary patterns on ankle-brachial index (ABI) as a surrogate of atherosclerosis, taking into account serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and factors that predispose to inflammation and/or endothelial damage (homocysteine) or may be protective (tryptophan, vitamin D), as well as age, gender, and lifestyle risk factors.
designCross sectional analysis.
settingCohort of 4000 men and women aged 65 years living in the community in Hong Kong SAR China. MEASUREMENTS: Interviewer administered questionnaire that includes dietary intake estimation by the food frequency records (from which various dietary patterns can be characterized), socioeconomic status, smoking habit, alcohol consumption, physical activity. Clinical measurements include body weight and height, and ankle-brachial index using hand-held Doppler machine. Laboratory measurements include assays of serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D, CRP, homocysteine, and tryptophan using LC/MC methods.
resultCompared with the lowest quintile of vitamin D level, higher quintile was associated with lower prevalence of ABI <0.9 in women only after multiple adjustments of covariates. In men the low score group of the vegetables-fruits dietary pattern was associated with increased odds of having ABI<0.9 after adjusting for all covariates (OR=16.51 (95% CI: 2.21, 123.26)). Similar findings apply to the low score group in the MIND (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay Diet) pattern (OR=2.6 (95% CI: 1.24, 5.42)). In women, ABI<0.9 was associated with low Dietary Quality Index (DQI) score (OR=2.05 (95% CI: 1.22, 3.43)), and low score group of snacks-drinks-milk products dietary pattern (OR=3.07 (95% CI: 1.05, 9.04)). No association was observed for the Mediterranean Dietary Pattern (MDS), Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), Okinawan and "meat-fish" dietary patterns in either men or women.
conclusionWe conclude that any dietary patterns emphasizing fruit and vegetable intake are associated with better vascular health using ABI as an indicator.
