Dietary, physical exercises and mental stress in a Chinese population: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundMental health is affected by both genetic and environmental factors. However, previous studies have showed conflict findings about the role of lifestyle and little is known about the situation of the Chinese population. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the frequency of food consumption, physical exercise condition and mental health, as well as factors related to mental stress in Chinese.
methodsWe recruited 8160 residents who had health examinations in a public hospital during June 2016 to May 2018. Demographic characteristics, the frequency of food consumption, physical exercise condition and mental health status was collected by a questionnaire. We estimated the association using the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) based on Binary or ordinal logistic regression models. A classification and regression tree (CART) demonstrated the prediction of the value of a target variable based on other values.
resultsThe logistic regression model and classification tree model both found that the frequency of fresh vegetables or fruit and fried foods consumption and the current state of drinking alcohol were related to mental stress. The degree of mental stress reduced significantly with increasing consumption of fish (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.71-0.90) and regular exercise (OR = 0.55, 95% CI:0.48-0.64) in females and increased consumption of fish (OR = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.48-0.64) and cereal crop (OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.68-0.89), fish (OR = 0.87, 95%CI:0.77-0.96) and regular exercise (OR = 0.61, 95%CI:0.53-0.70) in males. On the contrary, the frequency of consumption of desserts (OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.26-1.62) and the current of drinking alcohol (OR = 1.47, 95%CI:1.21-1.79) in females and meat (OR = 1.47, 95%CI: 1.31-1.65), pickled and smoked food (OR = 1.18, 95%CI:1.05-1.32) and the current state of drinking alcohol (OR = 1.25, 95%CI:1.12-1.40) in males were related to an increased risk of mental health.
conclusionsOur study showed that both the frequency of some food consumption and physical exercise condition were associated with mental health and affected the degree of stress, which provided novel insights into interventions.
