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

Background and objective: In 2019, the EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets from Sustainable Food Systems proposed the EAT-Lancet planetary health diet as a universal reference dietary pattern aimed at promoting human health while minimizing environmental degradation. However, epidemiological evidence regarding the association between adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet and the risk of heart failure (HF), particularly among individuals with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome (CKMs) stages 0-3, remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the associations between adherence to the EAT-Lancet dietary pattern, its individual dietary components, and the risk of HF among individuals at CKMs stages 0-3. Materials and methods: In this prospective study, a total of 120,849 participants with CKMs stages 0-3 from the UK Biobank cohort were included. Dietary data were collected using an online 24-h dietary recall questionnaire. The EAT-Lancet Diet Index, ranging from 0 to 14, was constructed based on the EAT-Lancet reference diet to evaluate adherence. Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline functions were used to assess the associations between the EAT-Lancet Diet Index, its dietary components, and HF risk. Results: Over a median follow-up of 14.88 years, 2,454 participants developed HF. A higher EAT-Lancet Diet Index was significantly associated with a lower risk of HF compared to the lowest index group (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.80, 0.97). This association remained robust across subgroup and multiple sensitivity analyses. Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a significant inverse linear relationship between the EAT-Lancet Diet Index and HF risk. Among dietary components, reduced intake of red meat (beef, lamb, and pork) (HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.83, 0.98) and increased intake of peanuts or other nuts (HR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.60, 0.95) were significantly associated with lower HF risk. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that greater adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet is significantly associated with a reduced relative hazard of HF among individuals with CKM stages 0-3, particularly through reduced consumption of red meat and increased intake of peanuts or other nuts.
