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

objectiveNutrition plays a role in the development of Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC]. However, prospective data on nutrition and disease onset are limited. Here, we analysed dietary patterns and scores in relation to inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] development in a prospective population-based cohort.

methodsWe analysed 125 445 participants of whom 224 individuals developed de novo UC and 97 CD over a maximum 14-year follow-up period. Participants answered health-related [also prospectively] and dietary questionnaires [FFQ] at baseline. Principal component analysis [PCA] was conducted deriving a-posteriori dietary patterns. Hypotheses-based a-priori dietary scores were also calculated, including the protein score, Healthy Eating Index, LifeLines Diet Score [LLDS], and alternative Mediterranean Diet Score. Logistic regression models were performed between dietary patterns, scores, and IBD development.

resultsPCA identified five dietary patterns. A pattern characterised by high intake of snacks, prepared meals, non-alcoholic beverages, and sauces along with low vegetables and fruit consumption was associated with higher likelihood of CD development (odds ratio [OR]: 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.30, p = 0.013). A pattern comprising red meat, poultry, and processed meat, was associated with increased likelihood of UC development [OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.01-1.20, p = 0.023]. A high diet quality score [LLDS] was associated with decreased risk of CD [OR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.99, p = 0.009].

conclusionsA Western dietary pattern was associated with a greater likelihood of CD development and a carnivorous pattern with UC development, whereas a relatively high diet quality [LLDS] was protective for CD development. Our study strengthens the importance of evaluating dietary patterns to aid prevention of IBD in the general population.
