Associations of dietary indices with risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive adults.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundDietary patterns play a pivotal role in managing hypertension and preventing mortality. However, comparative studies on the effects of different dietary patterns on mortality risk in hypertensive patients remain limited. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the associations between six established dietary indices and mortality risk in this population.
methodsUtilizing data from the 2005-2018 NHANES, 13,230 hypertensive adults were included in the analysis. Six standardized dietary indices were employed, and the associations between these dietary patterns and mortality were analyzed using a weighted Cox proportional hazards model. Additionally, time trend analysis was conducted to examine changes in dietary patterns, while weighted quantile regression (WQS) was used to identify key dietary components contributing to mortality risk.
resultsOver a median follow-up of 8.3 years, a total of 2,420 deaths were recorded, including 637 due to cardiovascular diseases. Higher scores for AHEI, DASH, HEI-2020, MED, and MEDI were significantly associated with reduced risk of all-cause mortality, whereas a proinflammatory diet, reflected by elevated DII scores, was associated with increased risk. Only higher DASH index scores were independently associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality. Time trend analysis revealed a decline in adherence to DASH over the years, whereas MEDI scores slightly increased. WQS regression identified dairy products, whole grains, and fatty acids as key dietary components influencing mortality risk.
conclusionsHealthy dietary patterns markedly reduce all-cause mortality risk in hypertensive patients, with the DASH diet offering notable cardiovascular protection. These findings support personalized dietary interventions for hypertension management.
