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

purposeThis study focused on diet-related quality of life (DRQoL), a concept encompassing the enjoyment of meals, dietary satisfaction, environment, and variety, and examined its association with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Japan.

methodsThis study analyzed the data from the nationwide 2021 and 2022 JACSIS study in Japan using cross-sectional and longitudinal data. DRQoL was assessed using a short version of the DRQoL Scale, and DRQoL scores were categorized into sex-specific quartiles. HRQoL was assessed using the EuroQol 5 dimensions 5-level. In the cross-sectional analysis, the association between DRQoL and the full HRQoL score was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Longitudinal HRQoL changes were evaluated using the Paretian Classification of Health Change. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed with "the same," "worse," "better," and "mixed" as outcomes. Stabilized calibration weights were applied to ensure representativeness.

resultsThe analysis included 19,482 participants. In the cross-sectional analysis, DRQoL Q2 [stabilized calibration weight-adjusted odds ratio (swOR): 1.21, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05, 1.41], Q3 (swOR: 1.43, 95% CI 1.23, 1.66), and Q4 (swOR: 2.04, 95% CI 1.77, 2.37) were significantly associated with a full HRQoL score. In the longitudinal analysis, Q4 status in DRQoL was significantly associated with lower odds of worse (swOR: 0.70, 95% CI 0.58, 0.83) and mixed HRQoL outcomes (swOR: 0.72, 95% CI 0.48, 0.99).

conclusionHigher DRQoL was associated with higher HRQoL in both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, suggesting an association between DRQoL and HRQoL in the general Japanese population.
