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 global food system significantly impacts environmental and human health, contributing to substantial greenhouse gas emissions. Objective: We examined associations between a novel Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI) that reflects adherence to the EAT-Lancet recommendations and cardiometabolic risk in a cohort of South Asians. Methods: We analyzed data from MASALA study participants with baseline ( Results: Among MASALA study participants (47% female, mean age 55 y), the mean PHDI score was 88.8 (SD 9.47). Prospectively, higher PHDI was associated with lower percentage difference in fasting glucose (-0.29 ± 0.15 %), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (-0.08 ± 0.04%), higher high-density lipoprotein (0.40 ± 0.17 mmol/L), lower body weight (-0.37 ± 0.12 kg), body mass index (BMI) (-0.08 ± 0.03 kg/m Conclusions: Greater adherence to a planetary healthy diet was associated with lower cardiometabolic risk factors and risk of incident type 2 diabetes.
