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

Background: The prevalence of allergic diseases [e.g., asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), atopic dermatitis (AD)] has increased significantly in recent years, which is coincides with a shift in modern eating habits. The Mediterranean diet, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, may be beneficial in the prevention of allergic diseases. However, its effects on allergic diseases have not been sufficiently studied. We investigated the relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and allergic diseases. Methods: This study analyzed the relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet (using the modified Mediterranean diet score, mMED) and atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis in 12,080 participants using data from the 2013-2016 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to control for confounding factors such as age, gender, education level, income, and lifestyle. Results: In multivariable adjusted models, participants with higher mMED had a significantly lower risk of developing AD (OR 0.57; 95% CI, 0.36-0.92; Conclusion: High adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with a lower prevalence of atopic dermatitis, especially in women. Fish and peanut intake have an important protective role against atopic diseases.
