Micronutrient intake and nutritional status in 16-to-24-year-olds adhering to vegan, lacto-ovo-vegetarian, pescatarian or omnivorous diets in Sweden.
Article in European journal of nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe nutritional adequacy of plant-based diets for youth is of public health relevance but is insufficiently studied. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the micronutrient intake and nutritional status in youth adhering to vegan, lacto-ovo-vegetarian, pescatarian or omnivorous diets in Sweden.
methodsHealthy 16-to-24-year-olds (n = 60 vegans, n = 59 lacto-ovo-vegetarians, n = 55 pescatarians, n = 61 omnivores) completed a 255-item web-based questionnaire, conducted four non-consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls, provided capillary blood samples and one spot urine sample. Usual micronutrient intakes were estimated by the Multiple Source Method. At the group level, risk of inadequate intake was defined as > 50% with intakes below average requirements. Samples were analysed for haemoglobin (HB), serum transferrin receptor (sTfR), homocysteine (tHcy), methylmalonic acid (MMA), 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH-D3), and urinary iodine concentration (UIC).
resultsFrom foods and supplements, all dietary groups demonstrated a risk of inadequate intakes of vitamin D and selenium, additionally vitamin A and calcium in vegans, B
conclusionYouth, regardless of dietary practice, need support to ensure adequate micronutrient intakes, particularly for vitamin D and selenium. Further research is required to evaluate iodine nutrition in Swedish youth.
