Dietary quality and risk of heart failure in men.
Article in The American journal of clinical nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundDue to the increasing disease burden, strategies to predict and prevent heart failure (HF) are urgently needed.
objectiveWe aimed to investigate whether the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) and the clinically abbreviated Prime Diet Quality Score (PDQS) are associated with the risk of overall HF, HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
methodsOur study included 44,525 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS) who were free from cardiovascular disease and cancer at baseline. The AHEI and PDQS were computed based on dietary data repeatedly measured using semiquantitative FFQs. HF, HFpEF, and HFrEF were adjudicated based on review of medical records through 2008. Associations of diet quality with incident HF were estimated with multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models.
resultsDuring 929,911 person-years of follow-up, 803 HF cases were documented, including 184 with HFpEF and 181 with HFrEF among those with ejection fraction (EF) data. Adjusting for potential confounders, we did not observe a significant association between the AHEI and overall HF (HR per SD: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.89, 1.04; P-trend = 0.57) or between the PDQS and overall HF (HR per SD: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.91, 1.06; P-trend = 0.82). Both dietary indices were not significantly associated with HFpEF. However, a higher AHEI was associated with lower risk of HFrEF upon comparison of the extreme quintiles (HR per SD: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.69, 0.96; P-trend = 0.02). Every SD increment in the PDQS was associated with 20% lower risk of HFrEF (HR per SD: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.68, 0.95; P-quadratic = 0.03).
conclusionsA healthy overall diet was associated with lower risk of HFrEF, and associations were similar with the AHEI and PDQS. We did not observe a significant association between dietary indices and either overall HF or HFpEF.
