Healthful and Unhealthful Plant-Based Diets and Their Association with Cardiometabolic Targets in Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of a Lifestyle Trial.

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
backgroundPlant-based diets are recommended in guidelines for the prevention of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases, which remain major causes of death in breast cancer survivors (BCS). Since not all plant foods are healthy, we calculated the plant-based dietary index (PDI), healthy (hPDI) and unhealthy (uPDI), and their associations with cardiometabolic targets in BCS.
methodsBaseline dietary and cardiometabolic data were derived from 492 (median age 51, IQR 46-59) female BCS participating in a multicentric lifestyle trial conducted in Italy. Dietary data were collected with 7-day food records. PDI, hPDI, and uPDI were calculated by assigning positive scores to all plant foods, healthy plant foods or less healthy plant foods, respectively, as defined by the literature (scores ranged from 18 to 90). Using logistic or multinomial regression models, we estimated the odds ratios (OR) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) between PDIs and cardiometabolic risk factors.
resultsThe OR of being obese (BMI ≥ 30 Kg/m
conclusionsMaintaining cardiometabolic risk factors within normal ranges is clinically relevant in BCS, and this may be more likely when a plant-based diet is consumed, especially if low in unhealthy plant foods.
