Salt Taste Perception and Salt Intake in Adults With and Without Coronary Heart Disease: Interactions With Body Mass Index, Sex, and Salt Intake.
Article in The Journal of cardiovascular nursing. 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
backgroundCoronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. While management guidelines recommend reducing dietary sodium/salt intake, salt taste can enhance food flavor and quality of life, making adherence to dietary recommendations challenging.
objectiveIn this study, we aimed to explore differences in salt taste perception between adults with CHD and those without CHD and whether these differences interact with sex and body mass index (BMI).
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis to assess the associations of CHD with sodium intake and salt taste intensity using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014 data. General linear model analyses were conducted by regressing sodium intake or salt tastant concentration on CHD, controlling for sex and BMI.
resultsOf the 4094 participants, 50.2% females with a mean age of 45.8 (standard deviation = 17.7). Individuals with CHD reported a higher intensity of dietary salt perception via the Tongue Tip Test: 1 M NaCl generalized Label Magnitude Scale (mean = 31.73, standard error = 2.71) compared with those without CHD (mean = 24.65; standard error = 0.51), P = .04. When stratifying by sex and BMI, there was a significant difference between individuals with and without CHD.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that individuals with CHD exhibit distinct salt taste perception, with notable sex and BMI differences. Our study underscores the importance of incorporating sensory science into dietary counseling and developing tailored interventions to individual taste profiles to enhance dietary adherence and overall well-being.
