Adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet in midlife and development in weight or waist circumference after five years in a Danish cohort.
Article in Dialogues in health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Purpose: The EAT-Lancet reference diet has been proposed as a healthy dietary pattern to reduce food-related climate impacts, but little is known regarding associations with bodyweight development. This study investigated adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet in midlife and development in weight and waist circumference (WC) after five years. Design: The Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort recruited participants in 1993-1997. At baseline, data on diet, lifestyle, and anthropometry were collected. Participants self-reported weight and WC five years later. In total, 44,194 participants were included in analyses of weight (43,678 for WC). Baseline adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet was scored 0-14 points. Multiple linear regression was used to estimate associations between the EAT-Lancet diet and development in weight and WC after five years. Poisson regression was used to estimate risk ratios (RR) of obesity (≥30 kg/m Results: Adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet was not associated with follow-up weight, adjusting for baseline weight and confounders (11-14 vs 0-7 points β: -0.08, 95% CI: -0.27, 0.11 kg), but was associated with lower follow-up WC adjusting for baseline WC and confounders (β: -0.38, 95% CI: -0.69, -0.07 cm), and was associated with lower risk of obesity and elevated WC (RR 0.89, 95% CI: 0.82, 0.98, and 0.95, 95% CI: 0.93, 0.96, respectively). Conclusion: Adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet in midlife was associated with lower WC but not weight after five years follow up, taking baseline into account. Our findings suggest that greater adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet does not contribute to development of obesity.
