Validation of a food frequency questionnaire for estimating vitamin K intake in the overweight adult Mexican population.

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
backgroundIt is important to assess vitamin K intake due to its involvement in multiple physiological processes. This study aims to validate a food frequency questionnaire for estimating vitamin K1, vitamin K2 and total vitamin K intake over 3 months in the adult Mexican population.
methodsThe food frequency questionnaire design included 49 food items and six frequency categories. The study included 42 young adults from Mexico classified as overweight or obese. Participants completed the food frequency questionnaire twice over a three-month period (at baseline and at the end of the study), and reproducibility was assessed using these measurements. Additionally, four 24-hour dietary recalls were collected throughout the same period to evaluate criterion validity.
resultsThe final food frequency questionnaire showed good relative and absolute agreement in estimating vitamin K1 intake compared to the average of four 24-hour dietary recalls. In the estimation of vitamin K2 and total vitamin K intake, discrepancies in the agreement between the tools were observed.
conclusionsThis study presents the first approach to developing a food frequency questionnaire for estimating vitamin K intake in the adult Mexican population. Its use is recommended for estimating vitamin K1 intake in both clinical practice and research. It is crucial to obtain more comprehensive and accurate information on food composition, both in Mexico and globally, to more precisely assess vitamin K2 intake in different populations.
