Association between ultra-processed food intake, diet quality, and cardiovascular risk factors among adolescents in Antioquia, Colombia.

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
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between ultra-processed food (UPF) intake, diet quality, and cardiovascular risk factors (CRFs) among adolescents in Antioquia, Colombia. Methodology: This study is a cross-sectional secondary analysis of adolescents who participated in food and nutritional surveys in Antioquia. The NOVA classification was used to identify the intake of UPF based on 24-h dietary recalls. The analysis focused on the contribution of UPF intake to overall dietary kilocalories, macronutrients, and fiber content. The CRFs included excess body weight, abdominal obesity, and alterations in blood lipid and glucose levels. Statistical analyses included multiple linear regression models, multivariate binary logistic regression, and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals. Results: The analysis focused on 402 adolescents (mean age 14.1 ± 1.9 years). UPF intake accounted for 17.6 ± 1.9% of total dietary kilocalories, with a higher percentage in urban areas (19.0% vs. 9.7%; Conclusion: UPF intake was associated with diet quality deterioration and increased blood glucose levels. High UPF intake among adolescents in urban areas of Antioquia, particularly within the middle socioeconomic stratum, poses a potential health risk that warrants further monitoring.
