Effect of a multicomponent intervention on adherence to the Mediterranean diet in older adults: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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: The Mediterranean diet (MD) is one of the dietary patterns with the strongest evidence for preventing chronic diseases and promoting healthy aging. However, adherence to it is declining among the older population in Spain, in parallel with the rise in Westernized eating patterns. In this context, community-based interventions and the development of culinary skills are emerging as promising strategies for improving dietary quality and promoting healthy habits. Objective: To evaluate the effect of a multi-component intervention compared with a traditional group educational talk, on adherence to the MD and clinical parameters in people aged 60 and over. Methods: An experimental, randomized, controlled study was conducted with two parallel groups, in adults aged 60 years and older in Salamanca. The main variable was adherence to the MD and clinical parameters and sociodemographic variables such as secondary variables. Results: The sample comprised 130 participants. Linear mixed-effects modeling demonstrated a significantly greater improvement in MEDAS score over time in the intervention group than in the control group (group × time interaction: Conclusion: The multi-component intervention was more effective than a traditional educational talk in improving adherence to the Mediterranean diet among community-dwelling older adults. Improvements were maintained over the three-month follow-up period.
