Effect of the Mediterranean diet on incidence of heart failure in European countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies.
Synthesis in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionHeart failure (HF) is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders, and its prevalence is increased due to age, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Emerging evidence suggests that the Mediterranean Diet (Med Diet) is linked to lower all-cause mortality in patients with increased cardiovascular disease risk, such as those with HF.
objectiveTo conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies into the relationship between the Med Diet on HF risk.
designSeveral databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library) until the 01
resultsFrom the original 1206 studies collected, six observational prospective studies were included, with a total of 216,385 European participants without evidence of HF at baseline. Over a mean period of 11 years of follow-up, a 1-point increase in the Med Diet score was associated with a significantly lower risk of HF (RR = 0.940; 95% CI: 0.912-0.969, p < 0.0001; I
conclusionsHigher adherence to Med Diet across European countries is associated with lower risk of HF, particularly in women.
