Assessing Dietary Patterns, Lifestyle Practices, and Forest Foods with Bioactive Potential to Address Micronutrient Deficiencies and Noncommunicable Diseases in Northeast India.
Article in Nutrients, 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
backgroundNatural solutions, such as locally available food resources (LAFRs) and nontimber forest products (NTFPs), are recognized for their bioactive potential in addressing health challenges. Despite Mizoram's rich biodiversity, the population faces increasing risks of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs).
methodsThis cross-sectional study assessed priority dietary preferences, food group consumption, dietary diversity score, and lifestyle practices, alongside a review of the nutraceutical potential of LAFRs and NTFPs. A three-day dietary recall was analyzed using
resultsResults revealed strong cultural preferences for carbohydrate-rich breakfasts and meat-based dinners, with lunch often skipped or replaced by snacks. Over 85% of participants reported inadequate intake of milk, fruits, pulses, and nuts. Compared with older and high-income women, younger women exhibited the lowest intake of food groups and nutrient-dense foods. Occupation significantly influenced dietary patterns, with heavy workers consuming more cereals but fewer micronutrient-rich foods. A shift from traditional to modern dietary and lifestyle practices was observed, influencing overall diet quality and long-term health outcomes. The mean Dietary Diversity Score (0-10) was 5.6 ± 1.3, indicating significant gender differences in diet variety (males: 5.8 ± 1.2; females: 5.4 ± 1.4;
conclusionsThe findings reveal a marked dietary transition in Mizoram and underscore the urgent need for food-based strategies to address nutrient gaps and the growing burden of NCDs.
