Association between intake of different types of kimchi and dyslipidemia in Korean adults: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: Dyslipidemia poses a major public health risk worldwide. Although numerous studies have suggested that dietary factors are related to dyslipidemia, epidemiological studies examining the relationship between kimchi consumption and dyslipidemia in large populations remain limited. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between kimchi consumption and dyslipidemia. Methods: In total, 4,666 participants were recruited from the Ansan-Anseong cohort. Total kimchi and baechu (Napa cabbage) kimchi consumption was calculated using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The association between kimchi consumption and dyslipidemia, along with its four key indicators, was evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards analysis. Results: In women, the risk of hypo-high-density lipoprotein (hypo-HDL) cholesterolemia was reduced in the group that consumed the most baechu kimchi [≥3 servings/day; hazard ratio (HR): 0.778; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.671-0.981]. Compared with the group that consumed the least amount of baechu kimchi, the group that consumed 1-2 servings/day of baechu kimchi showed a decreased risk of hypercholesterolemia in men (HR: 0.614; 95% CI: 0.398-0.948) and hypo-HDL-cholesterolemia in women (HR: 0.797; 95% CI: 0.649-0.979). Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of moderate kimchi intake in the prevention and management of cholesterol level.
