1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe Planetary Health Diet (PHDiet) proposed by the EAT-Lancet Commission is expected to bear health and environmental benefits. This study assesses adherence to the PHDiet in Portuguese adults and its associations with socioeconomic and lifestyle factors. For that, an adapted PHDiet score was computed, and its construct validated.

methodsData from the National Food and Physical Activity Survey 2015-2016 were used for this analysis, covering a representative sample of 3852 adults with two non-consecutive dietary interviews (8-15 days apart). Adherence to the PHDiet was measured through a score (ranging from 0 to 140), afterwards divided into terciles (T1-T3). Multinomial regression models were used (i) to assess the construct validity through associations with diet quality based on WHO recommendations and diet environmental impact using greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and land use (LU); (ii) to investigate associations between adherence to the PHDiet and socioeconomic and lifestyle characteristics. The prevalence of consumption of PHDiet components above/below the recommendations was estimated.

resultsAdherence to the PHDiet was generally low (36.0, 95% CI 35.4-36.6), with high consumption of meat and added sugars and low consumption of pulses, nuts, and whole grains. Higher PHDiet scores were found for diets with lower environmental impact (GHGE: OR

conclusionLow adherence to the PHDiet is associated with several socioeconomic and lifestyle factors. This highlights the need to implement targeted public health policies that encourage shifts towards a healthier and more sustainable dietary pattern.
