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

objectiveFindings of previous studies on associations between dairy consumption and metabolic health status were inconsistent. This study aimed to assess the link between consumption of dairy foods and metabolic health status, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and adropin levels in adults.

designCross-sectional.

settingAn observational study in Isfahan, Iran.

participantsAdults (n=527) selected by multistage cluster random sampling. Dietary intakes were assessed via a validated 168-item food frequency questionnaire. PRIMARY OUTCOME AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Anthropometric indices, blood pressure and biochemical parameters were assessed. The criteria proposed by Wildman

resultsParticipants had a mean age of 42.66 years (45.7% women). Moderate consumption of total dairy was, respectively, linked to 58% lower odds of MU (OR

conclusionModerate consumption of total and low-fat dairy was associated with lower odds of being metabolically unhealthy in Iranian adults, but high-fat dairy intake was not. Hypertension was less common among individuals with higher dairy intake. No association was found between dairy intake and serum levels of BDNF or adropin.
