Association of Food and Alcohol Consumption with Peripheral Atherosclerotic Plaque Volume as Measured by 3D-Ultrasound.
Observational study in Nutrients, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundFood patterns and alcohol consumption influence the risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and a healthy nutrition is essential for the prevention of CVD. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of nutrition and alcohol consumption on peripheral atherosclerotic plaque volume (PV) using an innovative 3D ultrasound approach.
methodsIn this prospective, single centre study we included 342 patients with at least one cardiovascular risk factor or established CVD. PV in the carotid and femoral artery was measured using a semi-automatic software. Information on food and alcohol consumption of the participants was collected using an internationally acknowledged standardized questionnaire (DEGS1).
resultsPatients with low total PV consumed significantly more vegetables (
conclusionIn this study we were able to show an association of food and alcohol consumption with peripheral atherosclerotic PV measured by 3D-ultrasonography. Following a healthy nutritional lifestyle (vegetable consumption, no excessive alcohol consumption) and regular fish consumption appears to be associated with less peripheral atherosclerosis and decreased prevalence of vascular diseases, respectively.
