Impact of Diverse Dietary Patterns on Cognitive Health: Cumulative Evidence from Prospective Cohort Studies.
Review in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe aging population is associated with an increased incidence of dementia, which deteriorates the quality of life of adults, leading to an elevated socioeconomic burden. This review aimed to extensively examine which dietary patterns favorably influence cognitive outcomes based on prospective cohort studies of adults.
methodsA literature search was performed in the PubMed
resultsOne hundred and eighteen publications were included. In a comparison of high and low categories, the Mediterranean-Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet increased cognitive function and reduced the risk of cognitive impairment. The Mediterranean (MED) diet improved cognitive function but showed no beneficial effects on cognitive impairment or dementia. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet lowered the risk of cognitive impairment but showed no alteration in either cognitive function or dementia. The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) did not alter cognitive function, cognitive impairment, or dementia. The healthy plant-based dietary index (hPDI) decreased the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia, whereas the unhealthy plant-based dietary index (uPDI) elevated the risk of cognitive impairment. The Western dietary pattern (WDP) decreased cognitive function.
conclusionsThe MIND diet and hPDI appeared to be effective, while the WDP appeared to be detrimental for cognitive health. Further prospective cohort studies of healthy and unhealthy dietary patterns are required to confirm the association between diverse diets and cognitive health.
