1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Functional foods significantly impact health outcomes, particularly in the preventing and managing chronic diseases. However, there is a lack of studies in Bangladesh on the association between functional consumption and health outcomes in the adult population. This study aimed to explore the use of functional foods and their association with chronic multimorbidity among the adult population in Bangladesh. The study was conducted on 966 people in the southern region of Bangladesh. Data were collected on sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics, chronic diseases, frequency of functional food consumption, and influencing factors. Binary logistic regression showed that respondents who consumed nuts weekly (OR = 0.58); natural products monthly (OR = 0.48); honey weekly (OR = 0.50), and egg occasionally (OR = 0.29) were less likely odds to chronic diseases. Furthermore, people who consumed probiotics daily (OR = 0.55) and monthly (OR = 0.39); prebiotics daily (OR = 0.19) and weekly (OR = 0.33); seeds monthly (OR = 0.51); tea and coffee daily (OR = 0.49), and black cumin daily (OR = 0.33) had lower odds to multimorbid condition. These results will support relevant policymakers in taking practical actions to improve healthy dietary practices with functional foods at the community level to prevent chronic multimorbidity in Bangladesh.
