The World Health Organization's Healthy Diet Indicator and its associated factors: A cross-sectional study in central Kinki, Japan.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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
The Healthy Diet Indicator (HDI), which is based on adherence to World Health Organization's (WHO) nutrition guidelines, is used worldwide. In 2015, the WHO updated the Fact Sheet for their recommended healthy diet. We investigated diet quality assessed by the updated HDI (HDI-2015) and factors related to adherence to this diet in a Japanese population. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 1370 participants from 8 workplaces, 1 college, and 2 communities. All participants completed a brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire. The HDI-2015 assesses 7 components: fruits and vegetables, total fat, saturated fatty acid, polyunsaturated fatty acid, free sugar, dietary fiber, and potassium. Only 6.6% of subjects demonstrated high adherence to HDI-2015 (met ≥6 components), whereas 52.0% demonstrated moderate adherence (4-5 components), and 41.4% demonstrated low adherence (0-3 components). Male sex, older age, and regular physical activity were associated with higher adherence. The contemporary Japanese population has an overall low diet quality as evaluated by the updated HDI score. Improving adherence to healthier dietary patterns may promote better health in Japan.
