Combining a Food Frequency Questionnaire With 24-Hour Recalls to Increase the Precision of Estimation of Usual Dietary Intakes-Evidence From the Validation Studies Pooling Project.
Article in American journal of epidemiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 68 papers, 5 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.
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
Improving estimates of individuals' dietary intakes is key to obtaining more reliable evidence for diet-health relationships from nutritional cohort studies. One approach to improvement is combining information from different self-report instruments. Previous work evaluated the gains obtained from combining information from a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and multiple 24-hour recalls (24HRs), based on assuming that 24HRs provide unbiased measures of individual intakes. Here we evaluate the same approach of combining instruments but base it on the better assumption that recovery biomarkers provide unbiased measures of individual intakes. Our analysis uses data from the 5 large validation studies included in the Validation Studies Pooling Project: the Observing Protein and Energy Nutrition Study (1999-2000), the Automated Multiple-Pass Method validation study (2002-2004), the Energetics Study (2006-2009), the Nutrition Biomarker Study (2004-2005), and the Nutrition and Physical Activity Assessment Study (2007-2009). The data included intakes of energy, protein, potassium, and sodium. Under a time-varying usual-intake model analysis, the combination of an FFQ with 4 24HRs improved correlations with true intake for predicted protein density, potassium density, and sodium density (range, 0.39-0.61) in comparison with use of a single FFQ (range, 0.34-0.50). Absolute increases in correlation ranged from 0.02 to 0.26, depending on nutrient and sex, with an average increase of 0.14. Based on unbiased recovery biomarker evaluation for these nutrients, we confirm that combining an FFQ with multiple 24HRs modestly improves the accuracy of estimates of individual intakes.
