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

objectivesMaternal diet is essential for the mother's and infant's health. Our Study aimed to evaluate the relationship between breastfeeding mothers' psychological distress and the Mediterranean diet and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet.

methodsThe data were collected in a cross-sectional survey conducted by the authors in 2021. Psychological parameters were assessed in 350 breastfeeding mothers using the Quality of Life (QL) Questionnaire, Depression Scale, Anxiety Questionnaire, and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). A Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) assessed adherence to the MIND diet.

resultsMothers in the highest tertile of the MIND diet had significantly lower maternal sleep disturbance scores (3.71 ± 3.61 vs. 5.28 ± 3.89; P < 0.001), lower anxiety scores (30.86 ± 7.49 vs. 32.89 ± 7.90; P-value = 0.01) and better maternal mental health (21.58 ± 3.68 vs. 20.76 ± 3.15) compared to those in the lowest tertile. After controlling for potential confounders, adherence to the MIND pattern was associated with less maternal sleep disturbance (β = 0.89; 95%CI: 0.82-0.96).

conclusionsfor practice. Adherence to the MIND diet is potentially associated with less sleep disturbance in breastfeeding mothers.
