Associations between diet quality scores and cardiometabolic status in young Japanese women: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Asia Pacific journal of clinical nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 AND
objectivesThis cross-sectional study aimed to examine associations between diet quality scores and adverse cardiometabolic status in young Japanese women. METHODS AND STUDY
designIn total, 1084 female dietetics students aged 18-22 years completed a validated self-administered diet history questionnaire. Diet quality was assessed using the Diet Quality Score for Japanese (DQSJ), Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015), Alternate Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010), Alternate Mediterranean Diet score (AMED), Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension score (DASH), and Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top score (JFGST). Adverse cardiometabolic status was defined as the highest quartile of the sum of z scores for waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (multiplied by -1), triacylglycerol, glucose, and insulin.
resultsAfter adjustment for potential confounding factors, adverse cardiometabolic status was significantly associated with all the diet quality scores except for AMED, with adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) in the highest quartile compared with the lowest of 0.39 (0.25-0.61) for DQSJ, 0.40 (0.26-0.61) for DASH, 0.44 (0.30-0.66) for AHEI-2010, 0.59 (0.39-0.88) for HEI-2015, 0.67 (0.45-0.99) for JFGST, and 0.80 (0.54-1.18) for AMED. Associations with each of the cardiometabolic risk factors were most prominent for AHEI-2010 (significant associations with all factors except triacylglycerol), followed by DQSJ (significant associations with all factors except triacylglycerol and glucose).
conclusionsThis cross-sectional study of young Japanese women showed associations between several diet quality scores and cardiometabolic status. These associations should be confirmed in other populations, prospectively where possible.
