Association of major dietary patterns with obesity, hypertension, and cognitive function in older adults: A cross-sectional study.

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: There is limited data on the association between dietary patterns and health outcomes in older adults. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of major dietary patterns with obesity, hypertension, and cognitive function in this population. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of major dietary patterns with obesity, hypertension, and cognitive function in older adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 337 participants aged 60 years or older. Dietary data were collected using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Data regarding height, weight, waist circumference (WC), and blood pressure were collected using standard methods. Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI)≥30 kg/m Results: Three major dietary patterns including mixed, healthy, and unhealthy were identified. There was an inverse association between the mixed dietary pattern and both abdominal obesity (odds ratio [OR]: 0.39, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.20-0.76) and general obesity (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.24-0.99). A higher score of mixed pattern was also associated with lower odds of hypertension (OR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.20-0.78). Moreover, a significant positive association was observed between unhealthy dietary pattern and hypertension (OR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.01-3.43). A significant positive association was also observed between the unhealthy dietary pattern and abdominal obesity (OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.05-3.44). Conclusion: Our findings underscore that higher consumption of certain types of healthy foods (loaded strongly in mixed dietary pattern) could be a viable strategy for prevention of obesity and hypertension.
