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
purposeCardiovascular diseases are a significant health concern for women in Iran, with previous research suggesting a potential link between dairy consumption and these diseases. This study aims to explore the relationship between the consumption of various dairy products and cardiovascular risk factors, as well as the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) among Iranian women. Various dairy products, including milk, yogurt, cheese, and drinkable yoghurt (dough), were considered, with a focus on dairy fat content (low-fat vs. high fat).
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 371 women aged 18 to 50 years were recruited. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated and reliable food frequency questionnaire. FRS was then employed to estimate each participant's 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
resultsAfter adjusting for confounding variables, participants in the highest tertile of low-fat dairy consumption had significantly lower FRS compared to those in the lowest tertile (FRS: -0.26 ± 0.30 vs. 1.06 ± 0.29, P < 0.0001). Higher yogurt consumption was associated with a significantly lower likelihood of having high triglycerides (TAG) (OR: 0.05, 95% CI: 0.003-1.09, P = 0.02) and high LDL-C (OR: 0.19, 95% CI: 0.01-3.2, P = 0.003). Participants in the highest tertile of cheese consumption had significantly lower odds of high fasting blood sugar (FBS) (OR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.07-1.62, P = 0.001) and high TAG (OR: 0.05, 95% CI: 0.003-1.09, P = 0.04). Additionally, consumption of drinkable yogurt (dough) and high-fat dairy products was inversely associated with LDL-C levels (OR: 0.19, 95% CI: 0.01-3.2, P < 0.0001 and P = 0.02, respectively).
conclusionOur findings suggest that both high-fat and low-fat dairy consumption are associated with beneficial cardiovascular effects. Higher low-fat dairy, is associated with lower FRS, indicating a reduced 10-year cardiovascular disease risk among women. Additionally, yogurt and cheese consumption were linked to improved lipid profiles, including lower triglycerides and LDL-C levels, which are key contributors to cardiovascular risk. These findings highlight the potential cardioprotective role of dairy consumption, supporting the need for further research to better understand its long-term impact on cardiovascular health.
