Improved Diet Quality in Elite and Entry-Level Military Women Compared With Civilian-Matched Counterparts.

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: Dietary intake is a modifiable factor linked to short-term and long-term health. The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) is an objective measure to assess diet quality and population-level comparisons, like military to civilian. Objectives: This study aimed to characterize diet quality of early-career and mid-career female soldiers compared with that of age-matches and sex-matched civilians and to link indicators of cardiometabolic disease risk to dietary outcomes and health status. Methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional assessment of HEI-2020 scores with cardiometabolic profiles of female elite warfighters (FEWs) and basic combat trainees using Block food frequency questionnaires and blood biomarkers. FEW ( Results: Mean HEI-2020 scores were greater in both FEW and BCT than those in NHANES groups (FEW: 67 ± 11 compared with 48 ± 15; pre-BCT: 60 ± 12 and post-BCT: 68 ± 11 compared with 50 ± 13). Diet quality for military groups were greater in 11 of the 13 HEI components than those for NHANES groups. Biomarkers associated with cardiometabolic disease risk (lipid profile, glucose, and insulin) improved in FEW and BCT compared with that in NHANES groups. Conclusions: FEW consumes a healthier diet than BCT and civilian women. Outcomes suggest the military nutrition environment promotes female warfighter health and warrants further research for understanding the impact of diet associated with long-term health outcomes.
