Dietary patterns and accelerated multimorbidity in older adults.
Article in Nature aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Diet could influence disease development and shape multimorbidity trajectories. Here we examined how four dietary patterns relate to 15-year multimorbidity accumulation in 2,473 community-dwelling older adults from the Swedish SNAC-K cohort. Multimorbidity was operationalized as the total number of chronic conditions and grouped into three organ systems. Higher adherence to the Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay, the Alternative Healthy Eating Index and the Alternative Mediterranean Diet was inversely associated with the annual rate of total chronic disease accumulation (β coefficient (95% confidence interval) per 1-s.d. increment: -0.049 (-0.065 to -0.032), -0.051 (-0.068 to -0.035) and -0.031 (-0.048 to -0.014), respectively), whereas higher adherence to the Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Index was associated with a faster rate of accumulation (0.053 (0.035-0.071)). Similar associations were observed for cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric diseases but not for musculoskeletal diseases. Some associations varied by sex and age. Our findings support diet quality as a modifiable risk factor for multimorbidity progression in older adults, with possible implications for dietary guidelines, public health strategies and clinical practice.
