1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDietary diversity score (DDS) is an indicator for assessing nutritional adequacy. Food security is another important measure in nutrition field which can be associated with several cardiovascular risk factors. Considering the importance of nutrition in heart failure (HF) patients, this study was designed to evaluate the DDS and food security of patients with HF.

methodsA total of 200 HF patients were enrolled. DDS was evaluated using valid and reliable food frequency questionnaire and was calculated by scoring food intakes as 5 main groups. Household food insecurity access scale was applied to assess food security status. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests and multiple logistic regression models.

resultsThe mean age of patients was 65 (standard deviation: 12) years and 59% of patients were male. Median of DDS was 1.96 (range: 0.29 to 6.12). Adjusted odds of greater DDS (> = median of 2) was 2.58 times higher for patients without hypertension than for patients with hypertension (95%CI: 1.31-5.08, P = 0.006). Also, odds of greater DDS were more in ex-smokers' patients when compared to non-smokers (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.70, 95%CI: 1.27-5.75, P = 0.010), patients with supplement use (AOR: 2.42, 95%CI: 1.16-5.05, P = 0.019), patients with lower total cholesterol level (AOR: 1.01, 95%CI: 1.00-1.02, P = 0.051), and patients with higher ejection fraction (AOR: 1.03, 95%CI: 1.00-1.05, with borderline. P = 0.073). About 57% of patients had experienced degrees of food insecurity as mild (26%), moderate (16%) and severe (15%). On the other hand, women (AOR: 1.90, 95%CI: 0.90-3.71, with borderline P = 0.061) and patients with middle (AOR: 3.48, 95%CI: 1.79-6.76, P < 0.001) or high (AOR: 20.32, 95%CI: 2.56-161.19, P = 0.004) socio-economic status were more likely to be food secure or mild insecure. Also, no relation between DDS and food security was found (r = - 0.08, P = 0.262).

conclusionThis study found that HF patients had a low DDS and more than half of the patients were food insecure to some extents.
