1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Diet is increasingly being recognized as a modifiable lifestyle factor that plays an important role in neuropsychiatric health. However, existing research has focused on single foods or dietary patterns in relation to specific diseases, limiting their ability to inform precise dietary recommendations. Based on UK Biobank data, we applied Cox regression to assess associations between four healthy dietary patterns and risks of dementia, depression, and anxiety. Moreover, we utilized structural equation modeling to explore potential biological pathways. Our results indicated that Alternate Mediterranean Diet (AMED) demonstrated the strongest protective effect against all-cause dementia (0.92 (0.85-0.99)). Regarding depression, the AMED (0.93 (0.89-0.98)) and Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010) (0.93 (0.90-0.97)) showed the strongest negative correlation. AMED was also most strongly associated with reduced risk of phobic anxiety disorders (0.87 (0.77-0.99)), whereas AHEI-2010 exhibited the most pronounced inverse association with other anxiety disorders (0.94 (0.91-0.98)). Structural equation modeling indicated that healthy dietary patterns may reduce the risk of neuropsychiatric disorders partly through direct modulation of inflammation and partly by improving metabolic function, which in turn reduces inflammation. Collectively, our findings support the development of precision-targeted dietary recommendations for the diet-immune-brain axis.
