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
purposeCancer related cognitive impairment is frequently reported by cancer survivors. The purpose of this study was to determine the association of the MIND diet pattern and its components with cognitive function in breast cancer survivors following chemotherapy.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study of 30 post-menopausal breast cancer survivors within one year of completing chemotherapy; 21 had complete data for analysis. Cognitive outcomes were assessed using a battery of objective tests. Self-reported dietary data were collected through electronic food frequency questionnaire; nutritional biomarkers were measured in blood. Linear regression models assessed the associations between the MIND diet score and its components with cognitive outcomes.
resultsAdherence to the MIND diet pattern was positively associated with global cognitive score (β = 1.163, p = 0.013), episodic memory (β = 3.726, p = 0.019), attention/working memory (β = 4.046, p = 0.024) and phonemic fluency (β = 42.305, p = 0.002) adjusting for education and total energy intake. Foods emphasized in the MIND diet such as non-fried fish, vegetables, and beans/legumes were all positively associated with cognitive performance on individual tests (p < 0.05 for all). Blood biomarkers of vegetable (β-carotene) and non-fried fish (docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) correlated with self-reported intake. Blood DHA was correlated with better cognitive performance (p < 0.05) Additionally, moderate intake of red meat and lower intake of fast food were positively associated with cognitive performance (p < 0.05 for both).
conclusionsAmong post-menopausal breast cancer survivors that are within one year of completing chemotherapy, adherence to the MIND diet pattern and its components was associated with better cognitive function.
