Association between Five Established DASH Diet Indices and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Population-Based Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Archives of Iranian medicine, 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
backgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents a rising international health crisis, closely linked to changing eating habits and lifestyle choices. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet has gained interest due to its potential to avert and control insulin resistance and T2DM. This research aims to investigate the association between five DASH diet indices and the risk of T2DM within the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS).
methodsIndividuals aged 21 years and older, who were free from T2DM at baseline, were included. Dietary habits were evaluated using a validated food frequency questionnaire; adherence to the DASH diet was assessed through five indices: Folsom, Dixon, Mellen, Fung, and Günther. To assess the association between the DASH diet and T2DM risk, Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for demographic & lifestyle factors, were employed.
resultsOf the 2,188 participants, 989 (45.2%) were men. The mean (SD) age and BMI of the population were 40.6 (13.3) years and 27.0 (4.7) kg/m
conclusionHigh adherence to DASH diets, evaluated using the Dixon and Günther DASH indices, is associated with a lower risk of T2DM, particularly among individuals with low activity levels; therefore, the inclusion of the DASH diet, especially for those with low physical activity, is recommended as a component of public health strategies for T2DM prevention in Tehrani adults.
