A Nutrient Ratio-Based, Web-Enabled Food Quality Score Is Associated With Weight and Blood Pressure Compared With Leading Nutrient Profiling Systems.

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: Rising prevalence of chronic cardiometabolic conditions may be partly driven by shifts in dietary patterns. Nutrient profiling systems (NPSs) aim to guide healthier food choices through labeling and consumer-facing technologies but vary in accessibility and how well they distinguish food healthfulness. Objectives: The primary objective was to compare a web-enabled, ratio-based NPS, Nutrient Consume Score (NCS), and its underlying nutrient ratios with 4 other leading NPSs, Nutri-Score, Health Star Rating, NOVA Classification, and Food Compass 2.0, by examining associations with obesity and blood pressure. Secondary objectives included assessing associations with cardiometabolic biomarkers and identifying food categories contributing most to each score. Methods: Cross-sectional study of NHANES 2015-2016 data from 9971 adults aged ≥20 y were analyzed. Dietary intake was assessed using a single 24-h dietary recall (day 1), and NPS scores were calculated. Multivariable regression models adjusted for sociodemographic and health factors examined associations with obesity, blood pressure, and cardiometabolic biomarkers. Compositional analysis evaluated food categories driving scores. Results: Higher NCS was associated with lower BMI [ Conclusions: The NCS was associated with weight and blood pressure in this cross-sectional analysis, with effect estimates comparable in magnitude with other commonly used NPSs. These findings support the potential utility of a ratio-based, web-enabled NPS for assessing diet quality in relation to cardiometabolic risk factors.
