Associations of Education With Overall Diet Quality Are Explained by Different Food Groups in Middle-aged and Old Japanese Women.
Article in Journal of epidemiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe disparity of overall diet quality by personal educational attainment has been a public issue. However, it remains unknown which food groups contribute to the disparity. This cross-sectional study assesses which food groups explain associations between education and overall diet quality in Japanese women.
methodsA total of 3,788 middle-aged (mean age, 47.7 years) and 2,188 older women (mean age, 74.4 years), who lived in 47 prefectures in Japan, provided data on their education (low, middle, and high) and dietary intakes from a diet history questionnaire. A diet quality score (possible score 0-70) was calculated based on seven food components. Mean diet quality scores, with adjustment for lifestyle and neighborhood variables, were estimated by education using a general linear model, and Dunnett's multiple comparison was conducted. Additionally, mean scores of each food component were estimated by education and compared using the same manner.
resultsAfter adjustment for lifestyle and neighborhood variables, mean diet quality score of high or middle education was higher than low education for both generations. Middle-aged women with high and middle education had higher scores of 'milk', 'snacks, confection, and beverages', 'fruits', and 'vegetable dishes' than those with low education. Older women with high and middle education had higher scores of 'sodium from seasonings' and 'fruits' than those with low education.
conclusionsThis study suggests that positive associations between education and diet quality are explained by different food groups in middle-aged and older Japanese women, which are independent of lifestyle and neighborhood variables.
