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

Seventh-day Adventists are Christians who believe in a wholistic development of humans that includes spiritual, physical, mental, and social dimensions. Because of this worldview, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has invested significant resources in fostering members' spirituality through well-planned religious programs, their mental growth through distinctively Adventist schools, and their health through quality health education and services. Some research on blue zones has proven that people who strictly follow the Adventist health diet live longer and with a better quality of life. This article focuses on the relationship between the respondents' years spent attending Adventist schools, earliest and latest exposure, and their health choices. The study is based on a survey that included 149,556 respondents from a denomination that now has 23 million members worldwide. Findings revealed that attending an Adventist college related to higher levels of acceptance and adherence to the Health Message as well as believing the message is supported by science but is not salvific.
