Adherence to global diet quality score in relation to gastroesophageal reflux disease and flatulence in Iranian adults.

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
introductionGastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and flatulence are both prevalent afflictions and negatively impact the quality of life. This study aims to determine the relationship between the Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS), a novel metric based on the Prime Diet Quality Score with GERD and flatulence in Iranian adults.
methodsThe cross-sectional study was conducted among 6202 adults in the context of the Shahedieh cohort study accomplished. Dietary intakes of participants were collected by food frequency questionnaires (FFQs). To calculate GDQS, 25 food groups were comprised (16 healthy and 7 unhealthy food groups and two food groups categorized as unhealthy when consumed excessively). GERD and flatulence were assessed by a self-reported questionnaire. To examine the association between GDQS with GERD and flatulence, logistic regression was performed in crude and adjusted models (Model I: adjustments for age and energy intake; Model II: gender, physical activity, marital status, occupation, educational levels, WSI, and BMI; and Model III: smoking status, depression, diabetes, hypertension, and cardio events.)
resultsParticipants in the highest quintile of GDQS had 20% higher odds of having GERD than individuals in the lowest one (OR: 1.20; 95% CI: 0.88-1.65, P trend = 0.508). Compared to the lowest quintile, the participants in the highest quintile had no significant reduction in probability of having flatulence in the crude model (OR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.81-1.11, P trend = 0.578). These associations remained non-significant after adjustments for confounding variables.
conclusionNo significant associations were observed between higher adherence to GDQS with odds of GERD and flatulence in Iranian adults. To better understand these findings, longitudinal studies especially randomized clinical trials are needed.
