Foods to deliver immune-supporting nutrients.
Review in Current opinion in food science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purpose of reviewThis article will briefly describe the role of specific dietary components, mainly micronutrients, in supporting the immune response and summarise the literature regarding foods and dietary patterns in the context of immunity and infectious illness. Literature on SARS-COV-2 infection and COVID-19 is referred to where appropriate. RECENT
findingsMicronutrients, other nutrients and plant bioactives have roles in supporting the immune response. Low status of a number of micronutrients is associated with increased risk and severity of COVID-19. Recent studies report associations of plant-based diets with lower risk of, and less severe, COVID-19. SUMMARY: In order to support the immune response, sufficient amounts of a range of essential and non-essential nutrients and other bioactives, mainly from a plant-based diet should be consumed. Further research should define cause-and-effect relationships of intakes of individual dietary components and foods, and of dietary patterns with susceptibility to, and severity of, viral infections.
