Associations of six dietary patterns with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among individuals with depression in the UK biobank: a prospective cohort study.
Article in European journal of nutrition, 2026. 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
purposeDiet plays an important role in the development of depression, but the impact of dietary patterns on mortality in individuals with depression is unclear. This study investigated the associations of six established dietary patterns with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in adults with depression.
methodsWe included 5,368 UK Biobank participants (enrolled 2006-2010) with depression and had at least one 24-h dietary assessment after their diagnosis. Dietary data were collected at baseline and through four online follow-ups. Six dietary scores were derived: dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH), dietary inflammatory index (DII), healthy eating food index-2019 (HEFI-2019), healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI), mediterranean diet score (MDS), and World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) food score. Cox proportional hazards regression estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer mortality.
resultsOver a median follow-up of approximately 4,370 days, 342 participants died, including 57 from CVD and 159 from cancer. Each quintile increment in DASH (HR, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.85-0.99]), HEFI-2019 (HR, 0.90 [0.83-0.97]), and MDS (HR, 0.90 [0.83-0.97]) was associated with lower all-cause mortality. HEFI-2019 was also significantly associated with lower CVD mortality (HR, 0.79 [0.64-0.96]). Reduced mortality was largely driven by higher fish intake and lower consumption of non-whole grains, fats, free sugars, and sodium.
conclusionAmong individuals with depression, greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet and HEFI-2019 was linked to reduced mortality. These findings suggest that healthy dietary patterns may play a supportive role in the long-term health of individuals with depression.
