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

introductionVegetarianism in its various forms has gained global recognition in part because of the notion that it is healthier; however, associations between plant-based diets and selected lifestyle practices in Israel have yet to be clarified.

methodsA population-based sample consisting of 1396 Israeli adults was collected via telephone survey, between the years 2013-2014. Differentiation between

resultsApproximately 5% (N = 65) of respondents (5.8% Jews and 3.0% Arabs) were "self-defined" vegetarians; but only about half (N = 33) adhered to genuine vegetarian diets. By contrast, nearly 2% (N = 26) of those self-identified as non-vegetarians were "actual" vegetarians; thus, 4.4% (N = 59) of the sample were verified "vegetarians." And while socio-demographic features did not meaningfully capture differences by vegetarianism status, "actual" vegetarians were significantly more likely than non-vegetarians to be physically active (OR = 1.7), use nutritive supplements (OR = 2.4) and read food product labels (OR = 1.9; all

conclusionsAggregately, "actual" vegetarian participants were more inclined to have healthier lifestyle practices relative to their non-vegetarian counterparts. Forthcoming research using larger samples should however exploit constant assessment measures to validate the link between vegetarianism and health-promoting correlates.
