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.

Participants completed digital questionnaires on weekly frequency of six basic emotions, anxiety, life satisfaction, happiness, and health behaviors. MedDiet adherence was assessed via a weighted 15-item score and categorized into tertiles. Associations were examined using multivariate, covariate-adjusted models. Results: Higher MedDiet adherence was significantly associated with greater joy and surprise, and lower anger, disgust, and sadness (all Conclusions: MedDiet adherence reflects a lifestyle characterized by emotional balance and well-being, with distinct psychosocial patterns for wine and beer.
