Prevalence and factors associated with inadequate intake of fruits and vegetables in a population from Northern Angola.
Observational study in African health sciences, 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
Background: The World Health Organization recommends a minimum intake of 400 g or five servings of Fruits and Vegetables (FVs) per day for the prevention of chronic diseases. Objective: The present study aims to describe the prevalence and factors associated with inadequate FVs intake in a sample of Angolan adults who participated in the CardioBengo study. Methods: It is a subset analysis of CardioBengo, a community-based cross-sectional observational study conducted in the Dande Municipality, Bengo Province, Angola. Results: The sample included 2161 individuals aged 18 to 84, with 64.1% being women. 57.2% of participants was below high school, and only 3.1% attended higher education. 61.7% were married, 48.3% had a monthly income below 150 USD. The prevalence of insufficient FVs consumption in the sample was 86.2%. It was observed that female gender, low education level, and the age group of 20-29 years were associated with inadequate FVs intake (p = 0.010, p = 0.001, and p = 0.006, respectively). Conclusion: There was no association between FVs consumption and cardiovascular risk factors. A prevalence of FVs consumption well below current recommendations was identified. The identified risk factors can serve as a strategy to increase FVs consumption in this population.
