Adherence to the MIND diet and its association with the risk of depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances in physically active adults: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundPhysically active persons frequently change their dietary intakes to get the best results in their exercises. These changes in dietary intakes, which are not healthy in some cases, might influence the risk of psychological disorders in them. In the present study, we investigated the association between adherence to the MIND diet and the odds of depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances among physically active adults.
methodsA total of 684 participants were included in this cross-sectional study. Dietary intakes of study participants were assessed using a validated 168-item semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). The MIND diet score was calculated based on participants' dietary intakes obtained from FFQ. To assess depression, anxiety, and sleep quality, the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used, respectively. All statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS (SPSS Inc., version 18).
resultsAfter adjusting for the potential confounding factors, participants at the top tertile of MIND diet score were 51% less likely to have depression compared with those at the bottom tertile (OR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.18, 0.90). We found no significant association between the MIND diet score and odds of anxiety (OR: 1.17; 95% CI: 0.71, 1.95) and sleep disturbances (OR: 1.25; 95% CI: 0.86, 1.81).
conclusionOur findings showed that more adherence to the MIND diet might be negatively associated with the odds of depression in physically active adults. No such significant association was found for the odds of anxiety or sleep disturbances. More studies are warranted.
