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

objectiveDietary diversity is associated with health benefits. However, food biodiversity has been understudied. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the associations between dietary species richness (DSR), i.e. the number of species consumed by individuals, and dietary sustainability dimensions, including environmental pressures, diet quality and monetary cost.

settingThe study was carried out among the NutriNet-Santé cohort.

participants29 173 volunteers were included.

designParticipants completed a 264-item FFQ. Food items were linked to the corresponding species. ANCOVA models were fitted to evaluate the associations between total, plant, animal DSR and dietary sustainability dimensions. The dietary share of organic food was computed.

resultsHigher DSR was associated with lower overall environment impact, captured by the pRecipe, an indicator including greenhouse gases emissions, land occupation and cumulative energy demand (pRecipe, Q5

conclusionsOverall, more biodiverse diets were related to better diet quality and lower environmental pressures. The associations seemed to be driven by plant biodiversity. Further studies are warranted to better understand the relationship between food biodiversity and sustainability dimensions across settings.
