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

objectiveTo study (1) the differences in dietary climate impact between sociodemographic groups, (2) the differences in food consumption and macronutrient intake as absolute amounts and in relation to energy intake by dietary climate impact level and (3) food groups as contributors of dietary climate impact.

designFood consumption and energy and macronutrient intakes were calculated based on two non-consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls. Dietary climate impact was calculated using national coefficients produced with life cycle assessment. Regression analysis was used to test the mean differences between sociodemographic groups and sex-specific dietary climate impact tertiles.

settingFinnish national food consumption survey FinDiet 2017. SUBJECTS: In total, 565 men and 682 women (age 18-74) after exclusion of energy under-reporters.

resultsThe mean daily dietary climate impact was higher in men than in women (5·6

conclusionOur study emphasises the importance of considering food consumption and nutrient intake both as absolute amounts and in relation to energy intake. Our findings support the advantages of plant-based diets in being both healthier and more climate-friendly.
