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
objectivesHealthy eating patterns may prevent development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Food insecurity is a known barrier to high diet quality. We examine the association of diet quality with CKD prevalence and food insecurity in a nationally representative population.
methodsCross-sectional analysis of data was conducted among eligible adults (n = 5,974) in the 2017-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were used to examine the association between diet quality, assessed using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2020, and CKD prevalence and between food insecurity, assessed using a 10-item questionnaire, and diet quality. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min per 1.73 m
resultsDiet quality was not significantly associated with CKD prevalence in the general population (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] per 10-point increase = 0.88; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.78, 1.01). However, a 10-point higher HEI-2020 score was associated with 24% lower odds of CKD in those with diabetes (aOR = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.61, 0.95) and 20% lower odds in those with hypertension (aOR = 0.80; 95% CI: 0.69, 0.99). In adjusted models, no statistically significant association was observed between diet quality and food insecurity.
conclusionsPoorer diet quality was associated with a higher prevalence of CKD among individuals with diabetes and/or hypertension. Addressing barriers to healthy eating is essential among individuals at risk for CKD.
