1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: A systematic analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between a plant-based diet and all-cause mortality. Methods: The PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases were searched. Two authors selected English documents from the database. Then the other two authors extracted the data and evaluated the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). This study adhered to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Project (PRISMA) and the PROSPERO Registry protocols. A mixed-effects model combined maximum adjusted estimates, with heterogeneity measured using the I Results: The results of the meta-analysis of 14 articles revealed that a plant-based diet (PDI) can reduce cancer mortality (RR = 0.88, [95% CI 0.79-0.98], τ Conclusion: The hPDI was negatively associated with all-cause mortality, and the uPDI was positively associated with all-cause mortality.
