The association between dietary patterns and nutritional status in community-dwelling older adults-the PEN-3S study.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundDiet plays a key role in the ageing process. Despite this, little is known about the effect of dietary patterns on older adults' nutritional status. The main aim of this study was to analyse the association between a posteriori derived dietary patterns (DPs) and nutritional status among community dwellers aged ≥65.
methodsCross-sectional study including a representative sample of the community-dwelling Portuguese population aged ≥65 (n = 849, mean age 74.1 years old). Data were collected through computer-assisted, face-to-face interviews. Dietary patterns were derived a posteriori based on two 24-h recalls by a latent class transition model. Nutritional status was assessed by the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA
resultsTwo DPs were identified: 22.0% of the studied population followed a 'Protein-based foods' DP (highest consumption of legumes, meats and sweets), and 59.1% followed a 'Mediterranean' DP (highest consumption of vegetables, fruits, dairy, cereals/tubers, bread, fishery and olive oil). Moreover, 18.9% switched between those patterns ('In-between' DP). After adjustment, the 'Protein-based foods' DP was associated with better MNA score (EXP(β) = 0.716, 95% CI 0.533, 0.962), compared to the 'Mediterranean' DP, particularly for total energy intake up to 2200 kcal/day. No significant associations were found between DPs and BMI.
conclusionsA protein-based pattern is associated with lower malnutrition risk in older adults, when considering an adequate energy intake. This should be taken into account when designing and disseminating food-based guidelines for healthy ageing.
