The association between global and prime diet quality scores and the risk of bacterial vaginosis: a secondary analysis of case-control 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
introductionThe present aimed to examine the relationship between Global Diet Quality (GDQ) and Prime Diet Quality (PDQ) scores and the likelihood of bacterial vaginosis (BV) among women.
methodsThis case-control study was conducted among patients referred to a gynecological clinic in Tehran using the convenience sampling method. All the participants were examined by a gynecologist to rule out BV based on the presence of three or four of Amsel criteria. A valid semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) containing 168 food items was used to estimate participants' dietary intake. To calculate the GDQ score, 25 food groups were considered, while 21 food groups were used for the PDQ score, based on the of daily consumption (in grams). All statistical analysis were performed using SPSS, and the association between GDQ and PDQ scores and the odds of BV was evaluated using binary logistic regression.
resultsAfter adjusting for age, energy intake, fat intake, BMI, physical activity, familial history of BV, pregnancy history, menstrual cycle, smoking history, and the number of sexual partners in the previous month, significant associations remained between highest tertile of GDQ total (odds ratio (OR) = 0.219, confidence interval (CI) 95%: 0.101-0.475) and positive score (OR = 0.235, CI 95%: 0.103-0.533), as well as PDQ total (OR = 0.277, CI 95%: 0.131-0.583) and healthy score (OR = 0.397, CI 95%: 0.185-0.854) with the odds of BV, compared to the first tertile.
conclusionA high diet quality, as indicated by high GDQ and PDQ scores, was associated with decreased risk of BV. These findings suggest that dietary intervention may be a viable strategy for the prevention and management of BV.
