1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe dietary glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) are dietary indicators of how carbohydrate-containing foods affect blood glucose. While the Mediterranean diet's glycemic impact has been explored, data specific to the Greek population remain limited. This study aims to assess the dietary GI and GL in the HYDRIA survey of a representative sample of Greek adults.

methodsHYDRIA was conducted from June 2013 to December 2014 and collected nationally representative data, including detailed dietary information. GI and GL were analyzed by age, sex, BMI, education, employment, smoking status, and Mediterranean diet adherence. Multivariate analysis was used to identify independent predictors of GI and GL.

resultsThe analysis included 3951 adults (52% females; median age: 49 years). The average GI was 59.7 (95% CI: 59.4-60.0) and the mean GL 101.7 (95% CI: 99.4-104.0). Males had significantly ( DISCUSSION: These findings emphasize the role of demographics and lifestyle factors in determining differences in dietary GI and GL of the Greek population. The Mediterranean diet appeared to mitigate the dietary GI and GL mainly in males, suggesting effects that merit further investigation.
