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
introductionDiet and emotions are closely linked. What we eat can influence brain chemistry, hormone balance, and energy levels, which in turn affect mood and emotional well-being. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between dietary intake and aggression levels among Indian male participants.
methodsThe study recruited 218 Indian male participants aged 18 years and above through an online panel using random sampling, with informed consent and confidentiality maintained. Dietary intake was measured using a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), while aggression levels were assessed using the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ). The data analysis process involves statistical techniques to examine the patterns of food consumption. It also explores their potential influence on behavioral traits, specifically aggression subtypes such as physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, and hostility.
resultsThe results highlight the potential influence of diet on behavioral regulation, with a higher consumption of red meat aligning more closely with aggressive tendencies. Results show a significant negative correlation between nutrient-rich food intake and aggression, with vitamin E (r = -0.50, p < 0.01) and vitamin D (r = -0.45, p < 0.01) showing the most potent protective effects. Omega-3 fatty acids (r = -0.42, p < 0.01) and vitamin A (r = -0.33, p < 0.05) also contributed to reduced aggression. The analysis further explores correlations between specific food groups, including omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, D, and E, and their impact on psychological well-being and aggression tendencies. DISCUSSION: The interpretation of findings highlights the significance of nutrient-rich diets in mitigating aggressive tendencies while identifying dietary patterns that may contribute to heightened aggression levels.
conclusionThe study's findings confirm that a nutrient-rich diet reduces aggression by enhancing neurotransmitter function, lowering oxidative stress, and improving emotional resilience. Conversely, lower intake of these protective foods is associated with higher aggression scores, emphasizing the importance of dietary interventions in promoting psychological well-being.
