Retrospective analysis of dietary fat quality and cardiovascular disease risk markers in middle-aged adults.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: The quality of fat in food affects the cardiovascular system by means of inflammatory and lipid pathways. Objective: To assess the relationship among middle-aged persons' cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk indicators and the composition of their dietary fat. Methodology: Two hundred adults (aged 40-65) from the Henan Provincial Chest Hospital's databases were incorporated in this retrospective, hospital-based observational investigation. Dietary consumption information was taken from food frequency questionnaires that had been filled out and were kept in medical records. Employing the unsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid proportion (UFA:SFA), dietary fat composition was measured and subjects were separated into tertiles. Anthropometric variables, lipid levels (total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C), and inflammation levels (hs-CRP) were obtained from pre-existing laboratory and hospital records. Results: In comparison to the lowest tertile, the highest UFA:SFA tertile had greater HDL-C (+8.29 mg/dL, Conclusion: Better lipid and inflammatory levels were associated with higher dietary fat quality, highlighting the significance of substituting unsaturated fats for saturated fats as a CVD prevention measure. However, prospective or interventional research are required to investigate causal effects, as these results are observational and demonstrate association rather than causality.
