Trajectories of adherence to an obesogenic dietary pattern and changes in diet quality, food intake, and adiposity during adolescence.
Trial report in Nutrition journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsContemporary longitudinal data on dietary patterns (DP) during adolescence are scarce. This study aimed to identify trajectories of adherence to an obesogenic DP and changes in diet quality (DQ), related food consumption, and adiposity markers during adolescence.
methodsA cohort of 600 adolescents (293 girls, 48.8%) attending 24 secondary schools enrolled on the SI! Program for Secondary Schools trial in Spain was assessed when participants were approximately 12, 14, and 16 years old. An energy-dense, high-fat, and low-fiber (obesogenic) DP was derived at each time point by reduced rank regression (RRR) using the percentage energy intake from fat, fiber density, and dietary energy density as intermediate variables. Based on each participant's resulting scores, trajectories of adherence to the obesogenic DP were identified by latent class trajectory modeling. Adjusted associations between trajectories, DQ and food consumption changes, and adiposity markers during adolescence were analyzed with generalized linear models.
resultsBased on adherence to the obesogenic DP during adolescence, four stable trajectory groups (from lowest to highest adherence) were identified: trajectory 1 (44 participants [7.3%]), trajectory 2 (180 participants [30.0%]), trajectory 3 (292 participants [48.7%]), and trajectory 4 (84 participants [14.0%]). Overall DQ was moderate, but showed a gradient across trajectories, with trajectory 1 having the best quality. Although the identified trajectories were stable, individuals in the group with the lowest adherence to the obesogenic DP (trajectory 1) significantly improved their overall DQ over time, whereas those with the highest adherence (trajectory 4) showed the opposite trend. The group of adolescents in trajectory 4 had the least healthy central adiposity profile when ∼16 years old.
conclusionFour stable trajectories of adherence to an obesogenic DP were identified in a large cohort of adolescents, with DQ decreasing as adherence to the DP increased. Although adherence to the DP was stable, differences in food intake between trajectories widened over time, resulting in increased central adiposity in participants with the highest adherence to the pattern at the end of the study. Further research is needed to explore the determinants of adherence to obesogenic DPs in adolescence and to evaluate their effects on adiposity and overall health later in life.
