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

Introduction: Whether using nutrition facts labels (NFLs) leads to adherence to higher-quality dietary patterns - such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which is associated with lower risk of chronic diseases - is unclear. We investigated whether people aged 21 to 64 years who use NFLs were more likely to adhere to the DASH dietary pattern. Methods: We analyzed data from the nationally representative, cross-sectional Israeli National Health and Nutrition Survey for Adults from 2014-2016. Adherence to the DASH diet was determined from a single 24-hour dietary recall using a DASH score calculated on the basis of adherence to 9 nutrient targets. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for DASH accordance (DASH score ≥4.5 [accordant] vs DASH score <4.5 [nonaccordant]) and for each separate nutrient target of the DASH diet. Results: The data set comprised 2,579 participants (NFL users, n = 931 [36.1%]). Of the NFL users, 299 (32.1%) were classified as DASH accordant, compared with 339 (20.6%) of the non-NFL users. After adjusting for potential confounders, the OR for DASH adherence among NFL users was 1.52 (95% CI, 1.20-1.93) compared with non-NFL users. Compared with non-NFL users, NFL users' odds of meeting individual DASH nutrient targets were 1.30 (95% CI, 1.06-1.59) for protein; 1.46 (95% CI, 1.17-1.81) for dietary fiber; 1.48 (95% CI, 1.18-1.85) for magnesium; 1.38 (95% CI, 1.12-1.70) for calcium; and 1.60 (95% CI, 1.30-1.97) for potassium. Age, female sex, and performing recommended physical activity were associated with DASH adherence. Conclusion: These results highlight the importance of nutrition education and awareness, as well as the potential role of NFLs in promoting healthier dietary habits.
