Identification and estimation of the intake of fermented foods and their contribution to energy and nutrients among Japanese adults.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveFew studies have reported intakes of fermented foods with their clear definitions. This study aimed to identify fermented foods and beverages consumed in Japan based on international definitions and to estimate their intake and contribution to energy and nutrients.
designData from a 16-d (four non-consecutive days within each season at 3-month intervals) semi-weighted dietary records (DR) were used. To identify 'entirely fermented foods' and 'partially fermented foods', a literature search on food processing and ingredients was conducted for all foods that appeared in the DR. For 'partially fermented foods', only the weight of the fermented food component was included in the estimation of total fermented food intake.
settingFour regions in Japan: Osaka, Nagano, Tottori and Okinawa.
participantsTwo-hundred forty-two apparently healthy Japanese adults aged 31-81 years.
resultsOf the 1396 kinds of unique foods that appeared in the DR, 101 were 'entirely fermented foods' and 104 were 'partially fermented foods'. The mean intake of fermented foods was 438 g/d per person (17 % of the total weight). They were mainly derived from beer, coffee, bread and yogurt. The mean contribution of fermented foods to the total energy intake was 18 %. For nutrients, the contribution to total intake was high to Na (46 %), Mg (22 %) and Ca (20 %).
conclusionsFermented foods account for approximately one-fifth of the total weight and energy of dietary intake and are important contributors to some nutrients in Japanese adults.
