The global diet quality score in children and adolescents and incidence of metabolic syndrome in later years of life: Tehran lipid and glucose study.
Article in Nutrition & metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTo evaluate the association between the global diet quality score (GDQS) in children and adolescents and the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its risk factors in youth.
methodsIn this secondary analysis, 1144 children and adolescents aged 6-19 years were selected from participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study and followed. Dietary data were gathered by a valid and reliable semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Diet quality was computed using the GDQS. MetS was defined according to Cook 's criteria for participants aged < 19 years and the Iranian-modified National Cholesterol Education Program was used to define MetS for participants aged ≥ 19 years at baseline and follow-up years.
resultsThe mean ± SD ages of 528 boys and 616 girls were 13.0 ± 3.76 and 14.0 ± 3.77, respectively. The incident cases of MetS included 108 and 51 person/years for males and females, respectively, with a median follow-up of 9.74 years. The MetS incidence was contrarily associated with quartiles of GDQS [HR: 1, 0.92 (0.77-1.09), 0.90(0.75-1.08), 0.77(0.63-0.95), P trend = 0.02]. There were inverse associations between GDQS and abdominal obesity [HR: 1, 0.86(0.70-1.04), 0.82(0.67-1.01), 0.75(0.60-0.94) P trend = 0.01], low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HR: 1, 0.85(0.70-1.02), 0.82(0.67-0.99), 0.74(0.60-0.92) P trend = 0.009], high blood pressure [HR: 1, 0.97(0.82-1.15), 0.99(0.82-1.18), 0.78(0.64-0.95) P trend = 0.02] incidence in the adjusted model. Individuals in the fourth quartile of GDQS have about 35% lower risk of high fasting blood glucose and high triglyceride incidence, compared to the first quartile.
conclusionHigher compliance with the GDQS in children and adolescents was associated with a reduced risk of MetS and its risk factors incidence in later years of life.
