Dietary patterns during pregnancy in relation to maternal dietary intake: The Mutaba'ah Study.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimTo relate adherence to healthy dietary patterns, evaluated by different dietary indices, to the intake of nutrients and food groups among pregnant women in the United Arab Emirates.
methodsThe analyses included 1122 pregnant women from the Mutaba'ah Study. Dietary intake was assessed using a semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire. Adherence to three dietary pattern indices was assessed; Alternate Healthy Eating Index for Pregnancy (AHEI-P), Alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMED) and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH). Associations between adherence (score >median) to the three dietary indices and intake of nutrients and food groups were analyzed using logistic regression analysis.
resultsWomen with higher intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids, fiber, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts and lower intake of saturated fatty acids, red meat, and sweetened beverages had significantly higher odds of adherence to all three dietary patterns (p<0.05). Associations between intakes of nutrients and food groups with odds of adherence to the dietary patterns differed for total fat (only with AHEI-P, [odds ratio [OR]: 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.94-0.98]) and monounsaturated fatty acids (only with aMED, [OR: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.02-1.10]), dairy (with AHEI-P [OR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.84-0.95] and aMED [OR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.81-0.91], and with DASH [OR: 1.10; 95% CI: 1.04-1.17]), whole grain (only with aMED [OR: 2.19; 95% CI: 1.61-2.99] and DASH [OR: 4.27; 95% CI: 3.04-5.99]) and fish (with AHEI-P [OR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.02-1.80] and aMED [OR: 1.79; 95% CI: 1.35-2.38], and with DASH [OR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.52-0.86]).
conclusionAdherence to the three dietary pattern indices was generally associated with a favorable intake of nutrients and food groups. However, the indices captured slightly different aspects of dietary intake. These results show that dietary indices that assess adherence to healthy dietary patterns cannot be used interchangeably.
