Association between dietary patterns and different obesity phenotypes among Inner Mongolia adults: a cross-sectional study.

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
Background: This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary patterns and obesity phenotypes among adults in Inner Mongolia using the Chinese Dietary Balance Index (DBI-22). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among adults in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. Sociodemographic information, lifestyle, and physical activity were collected using a comprehensive questionnaire. Dietary data were collected with a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to assess participants' dietary intake over the past year. Body mass index (BMI) and metabolic status were measured through physical examinations and biochemical tests. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to identify dietary patterns. A generalized linear model was applied to assess the association between the DBI-22 and dietary patterns. Multinomial logistic regression was performed to investigate the association between dietary patterns and obesity phenotypes. Results: Three dietary patterns were identified in Mongolia: the plant-based dietary pattern, the northern pastoral dietary pattern, and the northern traditional dietary pattern. Using metabolically healthy non-obesity (MHNO) as the reference group, higher adherence to the northern pastoral dietary pattern increased the risk of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO, OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.0, 2.08) but decreased the risk of metabolically unhealthy non-obesity (MUNO, OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.54, 0.91). Higher adherence to the plant-based dietary pattern was associated with a reduced risk of MHO (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.47, 0.91). Higher adherence to the northern traditional dietary pattern was linked to an elevated risk of metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO, OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.2, 2.06). Generalized linear models showed that the plant-based dietary pattern and the northern pastoral dietary pattern demonstrated relatively balanced nutritional characteristics, while the northern traditional dietary pattern was characterized by relative imbalance. Conclusion: Adherence to the northern pastoral dietary pattern increased the risk of MHO and reduced the risk of MUNO, while adherence to the plant-based dietary pattern reduced the risk of MHO. Both patterns demonstrated balanced diet quality. In contrast, adherence to the nutritionally imbalanced northern traditional dietary pattern increased the risk of MUO, highlighting the need for nutritional intervention.
