Associations Between Healthy and Plant-Based Dietary Patterns and Cognitive Reserve: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the 1946 British Birth Cohort.

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
Background: Cognitive reserve (CR) is the ability to compensate for brain changes, injury, and disease, and it is measured by acquired knowledge and experiences. Genes and environmental factors influence CR, but the role of diet is unclear. Objectives: This study examined associations between CR and alignment with different dietary patterns and investigated diet's unique contribution to variability in CR. Methods: We applied cross-sectional methods to data from the National Survey of Health and Development's 1946 British Birth Cohort. National Adult Reading Test (NART) scores at age 53 identified CR levels. Scores for the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2020 and Plant-Based Diet Indexes (PDIs overall, healthful [hPDI], and unhealthful [uPDI]) were calculated from diet recalls and diaries at ages 4, 36, 43, and 53. Multiple linear regression models identified associations between NART and cumulative mean dietary index scores while adjusting for key confounders. Owen value Results: Participants with complete data were analyzed ( Conclusions: CR was positively associated with healthy dietary patterns and inversely associated with unhealthful plant-based dietary patterns. Diet uniquely explained variations in CR and should be considered among influential lifestyle factors in future research. Longitudinal analyses are needed to confirm these findings.
