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: With the global increase in the older adults population, early detection of health risks and the promotion of healthy aging have become increasingly important. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between dietary diversity and frailty, cognitive function, activities of daily living, phytonutrients intake and nutritional status in Turkish older adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 1744 community-dwelling individuals aged 65 and older from different geographical regions of Türkiye. Sociodemographic characteristics and certain anthropometric measurements of the participants were recorded. The Dietary Diversity Score (DDS), Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF), two-day 24-h dietary recall for dietary intake, Phytonutrient Index, Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living (Katz ADL), Edmonton Frailty Scale (EFS), and Standardized Mini Mental State Examination (SMMSE) were used. Results: Of the participants, 3.3% were classified as severely frail, 20.7% were at risk of malnutrition, 21.7% had moderate to severe cognitive impairment, and 18.6% had low DDS. A significant positive correlation was found between DDS and energy intake (r = 0.453, Conclusion: No significant association was found between dietary diversity and nutritional status, activities of daily living, functional and cognitive frailty in the older adults Turkish population. It is considered that regular monitoring of nutritional status and interventions aimed at increasing dietary diversity in the older adults population may promote healthy aging.
