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

backgroundIn the context of population aging, activities of daily living (ADL) disability has brought great challenges to the health of the elderly. The relationship between plant-based dietary patterns and the health of the elderly has been widely discussed. However, few studies have explored the correlation between plant-based dietary patterns and ADL disability in older adults.

methodsWe included 2004 participants from the Chinese Longitudinal Health Longevity Survey (CLHLS). The Simplified Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to measure Plant-Based Diet Index (PDI), healthy Plant-Based Diet Index (hPDI), and unhealthy Plant-Based Diet Index (uPDI). A Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess associations between plant-based dietary patterns and ADL disability in older adults and to explore age differences in these associations.

resultsuPDI and hPDI showed nonlinear associations with ADL disability. Following covariate adjustments, older adults in the highest tertile of the hPDI have a lower risk of ADL disability than those in the lowest tertile (HR = 0.61). Older adults in the highest tertile of the uPDI have a higher risk of ADL disability than those in the lowest tertile (HR = 1.33). Subgroup analyses showed that hPDI was more protective against ADL disability in those under 80 years of age, whereas uPDI was only significantly associated with an increased risk of ADL disability in those under 80 years of age.

conclusionsIncreasing the intake of healthy plant-based diets and reducing the intake of unhealthy plant-based and animal-based diets can help prevent and improve ADL disability in the elderly.
