Dietary adherence and cognitive performance in older adults: insights from a nationwide survey in China.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Dietary guidelines, integrating the latest scientific evidence with traditional dietary culture, are regularly issued to provide dietary recommendations and promote health. However, the relationship between adherence to dietary guidelines and cognitive health has yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we specifically examine the association between adherence to the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese (DGC) and cognitive performance among older adults. Methods: We analyzed data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) (2011 and 2015), including participants aged ≥60 years. Adherence to the DGC was assessed using the Chinese Healthy Eating Index (CHEI). Cognitive performance was evaluated across the following three domains: (1) memory (immediate and delayed recall), (2) attention/executive function (counting backward from 20), and (3) processing speed (serial 7 subtraction). A composite Results: Among 2,174 older adults, higher CHEI scores were significantly associated with better performance at counting backward (attention/executive function, Conclusion: Greater adherence to the DGC was associated with better cognitive performance, particularly in processing speed and attention/executive function. Promoting adherence to dietary guidelines may be a viable strategy for preserving cognitive health in aging populations.
