Trends in diet structural composition and quality among adults in Beijing, China (2010-2022).
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Unbalanced dietary patterns are a major risk factor for chronic non-communicable diseases. Examining trends in population-level dietary structural composition and quality is essential for monitoring nutritional transitions, identifying key dietary risks, and developing targeted public health policies. Methods: This study analyzed dietary trends among Beijing adults using three waves (2010-2022) of data from the China Nutrition and Health Surveillance (CNHS). Dietary intake was assessed through consecutive 3-day 24-h dietary recalls, supplemented by household weighing of cooking oils and condiments. Dietary structural composition was comprehensively analyzed, including the energy contribution of macronutrients and food sources of energy, protein, and fat intake. Population-level dietary quality was evaluated using the Chinese Diet Balance Index (DBI-22). Trend analyses were performed using the Jonckheere-Terpstra test, while group comparisons utilized chi-square and Mantel-Haenszel tests. Results: A total of 4,520 participants were included. Between 2010 and 2022, carbohydrate contribution to energy intake decreased from 56.1 to 46.7%, whereas fat intake increased from 31.6 to 36.9%. A dietary shift from plant-based to animal-sourced foods was observed, with the latter demonstrating annual increases in their proportional contributions to total energy, protein, and fat intake ( Conclusion: Between 2010 and 2022, Beijing adults experienced substantial imbalances in dietary structure, characterized by decreasing energy intake from carbohydrates and increasing intake from fat, both diverging further from recommended levels. Dietary deficiencies and excesses coexist, contributing to suboptimal dietary quality compared with national dietary guidelines.
