Multidimensional links between dietary behavior and cardiometabolic comorbidities: a network analysis.
Article in Diabetology & metabolic syndrome, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 burden of cardiometabolic comorbidities-such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)-attributable to unhealthy dietary behaviors is increasing, particularly among working-age populations. This study aimed to investigate the complex interactions between dietary behaviors and cardiometabolic comorbidities using network analysis.
methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 1,427 corporate employees aged 18-50 years in Shanghai, China, who underwent routine health check-ups from July to December 2022. Demographic characteristics and dietary behaviors were assessed via a self-reported questionnaire, while metabolic indicators were obtained through clinical evaluations. Mixed graphical models were used to construct a network identifying associations among demographic factors, unhealthy dietary behaviors, and six cardiometabolic comorbidities: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperuricemia, and NAFLD.
resultsAmong participants, 49.5% had at least one cardiometabolic comorbidity. Network analyses revealed that interactions among demographic factors, various dietary behaviors, and cardiometabolic comorbidities formed a complex structure, with frequent meat consumption (2.03) and eating out (2.00) exhibiting high centrality in the network. Further sensitivity analyses indicated that eating before bedtime (2.01) emerged as a central node when modifiable demographic factors were included in the model.
conclusionsThis study identifies specific unhealthy dietary behaviors that are strongly linked to early manifestations of cardiometabolic comorbidities in working-age adults. The findings suggest that these behaviors may serve as effective targets for dietary interventions and public health strategies aimed at metabolic disease prevention.
