Daily consumption of specific categories of fruit and vegetables negatively correlated with frailty: findings from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Article in Nutrition research and practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe specific impact of different fruit and vegetable consumption categories on frailty is not completely understood. This study examined the relationships between the daily consumption of fruit and vegetables and frailty in a large general population. SUBJECTS/
methodsThis study used the data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2020). Two intermittent 24-h dietary recalls were used to evaluate fruit and vegetable consumption. Frailty was assessed using the frailty index. Logistic regression, stratified analyses, and restricted cubic spline models were used to examine these associations.
resultsA higher daily intake of citrus, melons, and berries (odds ratio [OR], 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.65-0.92), other fruit (OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.62-0.88), intact fruit (OR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.60-0.84), dark-green vegetables (OR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.60-0.83), and total vegetables (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.66-0.96), along with a lower fruit juice intake (OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.69-0.96), were associated with a reduced risk of frailty in adults aged 18 yrs and older. Further analysis showed that the daily consumption of citrus melons and berries, other fruit, intact fruit, fruit juice, and tomatoes and tomato products were inversely associated with frailty in adults under 60 yrs and females. Dark green vegetables were inversely correlated with frailty in individuals aged 40-60 yrs and over 60 yrs, regardless of sex.
conclusionThe daily consumption of most types of fruit, dark green vegetables, and tomatoes and tomato products may reduce the risk of frailty in American adults, particularly for individuals under 60 yrs of age and females.
