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

backgroundThe 2023 Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR23) presented a dual focus on disease prevention and planetary health.

objectivesWe aimed to develop a food-based diet score measuring adherence to NNR23 and assess its association with all-cause mortality in a Swedish population.

methodsWe developed a novel diet score with 15 food components representing NNR23. Each component was scored between 0 and 1 point on a continuous scale, 1 being full adherence, based on participants' intakes. The study population included women (48-83 y old) from the Swedish Mammography Cohort (n = 39,984) and men (45-79 y old) from the Cohort of Swedish Men (n = 48,850), who completed food frequency questionnaires in 1997, 2009, and 2019 and were followed up although linkage to the National Death Register. Multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models with age as the underlying timescale were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between adherence to NNR23 and all-cause mortality, as well as cardiovascular- and cancer-specific deaths.

resultsThe median NNR23 score was 9.5 (p10, p90; 8.3, 11) for women and 8.9 (p10, p90; 7.4, 10) for men; no participant achieved full adherence. During a median 18.8 y of follow-up, 30,142 participants died. Participants with the highest adherence (>10 points) at baseline had a 23% lower all-cause mortality (HR 0.77; 95% CI: 0.74, 0.80) compared with the lowest adherence group (<8 points). Results were similar for cardiovascular- and cancer-specific mortality. For long-term average food intake, we found an even lower mortality risk when comparing the highest adherence with the lowest adherence (HR 0.38; 95% CI: 0.37, 0.40).

conclusionsWith a new food-based diet score representing NNR23, we found that higher compared with lower adherence to NNR23 was associated with lower mortality in a Swedish population.
