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 registryThe 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.

BACKGROUND/
objectivesHypertension control remains a global challenge. Evidence on the association between adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and blood pressure (BP) control in older Mediterranean populations is limited. We aimed to assess this association in Spanish older adults.
methodsThis cross-sectional analysis included 371 participants (69 ± 9 years). Dietary intake was assessed using a validated 146-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and DASH diet adherence was categorized as low, medium, or high. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine associations with BP control.
resultsAmong participants with hypertension (
conclusionsIn this cohort of older Spanish adults, moderate adherence to the DASH diet was associated with meaningful improvements in BP control, suggesting that achievable, intermediate levels of DASH diet adherence may be sufficient to improve hypertension management in real-world settings. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm causality and long-term cardiovascular benefits.
