A hypothetical intervention analysis for the effects of healthy dietary patterns on reducing major chronic diseases and mortality associated with air pollutant mixtures.
Article in BMC medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRandomized trials have not assessed how changing dietary patterns affects air pollution-related chronic diseases and mortality. We estimated these risks under hypothetical dietary interventions.
methods17,254 UK Biobank adults with repeated 24-h dietary assessments (2009-2012) were included. Exposures to six air pollutants (PM
resultsOver 12.9 median follow-up years, 2295 CVD, 475 diabetes, 1912 cancer, 969 CKD, 395 COPD, 405 dementia cases, and 814 deaths occurred. Increased adherence to ten dietary patterns (excluding the healthy low-carbohydrate diet) reduced air pollution-related disease risks, with maximal benefit at optimal adherence. For example, comparing interventions targeting dietary diversity score with non-intervention, the 13-year RD (per 1000 population) ranged from - 0.48 to - 2.14 for CVD, - 2.85 to - 10.16 for diabetes, - 0.65 to - 2.95 for cancer, - 4.26 to - 16.22 for CKD, - 2.79 to - 9.60 for COPD, - 3.64 to - 12.12 for dementia, and - 2.54 to - 9.84 for death.
conclusionsInterventions optimizing dietary patterns could mitigate the 13-year risks of major chronic diseases and mortality linked to air pollutant mixtures. Adherence to healthy dietary patterns holds significant public health potential for preventing air pollution-related morbidity and premature death.
