Effect of information motivation behavioral skills model based dietary patterns on carotid atherosclerosis in elderly hypertensive patients.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Since hypertension exacerbates carotid arteries atherosclerosis among the elderly, this study aimed to find whether dietary pattern alteration can alleviate this effect using the Information-Motivation-Behavioral (IMB) Skills Model. In a retrospective cohort study with a 3-month follow-up, 1000 elderly hypertensive patients admitted between June 2022 and June 2023 were categorized into two groups: a Non-IMB group (n = 480) following a standard low-salt, low-fat diet and an IMB model-based diet group (n = 520). Propensity score matching ensured comparable baseline characteristics. Over three months, the IMB group received comprehensive dietary education and support. Primary outcomes measured were changes in CIMT and plaque scores, assessed via carotid ultrasound. Secondary measures included motivation for health-related behaviors, cardiovascular health, and quality of life. The IMB group showed a significant reduction in CIMT (1.05 ± 0.30 mm) compared to the Non-IMB group (1.20 ± 0.35 mm, P < 0.001). Plaque scores decreased significantly in the IMB group (1.80 ± 0.32) versus the Non-IMB group (1.97 ± 0.41, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis highlighted adherence to the IMB dietary pattern as the strongest predictor of improved CIMT and plaque scores, with an odds ratio of 7.807 (95% CI 5.851 to 10.417, P < 0.001). While significant improvements were noted in dietary intake patterns and blood pressure parameters, motivational and cardiovascular health metrics showed no statistically significant differences between groups. The potential applicability of the IMB dietary framework in clinical strategies aimed at mitigating atherosclerosis progression and managing cardiovascular risk in this demographic.
