The association between dietary diversity score and food insecurity and novel cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: a cross-sectional study.

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
Objectives: An efficient approach to monitor the risks associated with chronic diseases is to use a dietary diversity score (DDS). To our knowledge, there has been no study conducted on the correlation between DDS and cardiovascular risk factors in individuals with diabetes. Hence, the objective of this study is to ascertain the correlation between these traits. Methods: In this cross-sectional investigation, 490 individuals with type 2 diabetes were included. The patients' food consumption was assessed using a 168-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and a dietary diversity score (DDS) was computed. Traditional CVD risk variables were used to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors, including Castelli risk index 1 and 2 (CRI-I and II), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and cholesterol index (CI). We evaluated the anthropometric indicators that predict CVD, including the abdominal volume index (AVI), body roundness index (BRI), and body shape index (ABSI). Results: In the final model adjusted for all the considered confounders, there was a significant association between DDS and LAP (OR: 1.33; 95% CI: 0.61, 0.82; Conclusions: In the present study, it was found that DDS may result in higher LAP and AVI which are markers of abdominal obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, despite the probable positive effect of having a diverse diet on cardiovascular health and wide recommendations for that, using healthier food groups should be considered.
