Mediterranean diet vs. the Australian guide to healthy eating (AGHE) on body composition and glucose metabolism: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Diabetes, obesity & metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
aimsThe Mediterranean diet has been extensively studied and shown to reduce chronic disease risk. The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating (AGHE) offers a balanced dietary framework tailored to Australian habits, yet its comparative efficacy with the Mediterranean diet remains unexplored. Thus, this study aims to compare the efficacy of the Mediterranean diet with AGHE on body composition and glucose metabolism. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a randomised controlled trial including 57 participants (median age 31, IQR: 25-37 years; 71.9% female, BMI = 25.1 kg/m
resultsThe Mediterranean diet intervention resulted in a significant decrease in waist circumference (-1.3 cm, p = 0.043), body fat percentage (-1.8%, p = 0.014), resting metabolic rate (RMR) (-17.9 kcal/day, p = 0.02) and fasting insulin concentration (-1.2 μIU/mL, p = 0.016), along with an increase in body lean mass percentage (1.7%, p = 0.015) compared to the AGHE group.
conclusionThe Mediterranean diet demonstrated greater efficacy in improving body composition and maintaining metabolic variables than the AGHE. These findings may support the use of the Mediterranean diet in improving health outcomes related to obesity and metabolic disorders. However, larger, well-designed clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings and explore underlying mechanisms.
