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

The Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet has been related to a lower risk of dementia and better cognitive function. This study identified 47 circulating metabolites associated with the alternate MIND diet score (aMIND) in the UK Biobank (45,906 participants, 168 metabolites measured) and Whitehall II (6193 participants, 152 metabolites measured). Unsaturated fatty acids showed the strongest positive associations with the aMIND, and very low-density lipoprotein measures and glycoprotein acetyls showed the strongest inverse associations. We constructed a metabolomic signature score (MIND-MetS) to objectively reflect MIND diet adherence. Both aMIND and MIND-MetS were associated with better cognitive outcomes in participants aged 55 years or older, and the MIND-MetS partially mediated the aMIND-cognition associations. In summary, the rapid and widely accessible nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomic measure could objectively reflect MIND diet adherence. Moreover, our findings offered insights into the intricate connections among diet, metabolism, and cognition.
