Assessment of Serbian adults' diet through cluster analysis approach - findings from the national health interview survey.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe study aimed to assess the diet of Serbian adults using a cluster analysis approach and to determine the association of socio-demographic and other characteristics with the membership to the identified dietary clusters.
methodsThis study represents a secondary analysis of data from the 2019 Serbian Health Interview Survey and it included 12755 adults. We used two-step cluster analysis in order to identify the existing dietary types or patterns in the Serbian population. Univariate and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were used to test the association of the participants' socio-demographic characteristics, health status, body mass index, perceived impact of health risk factors and health-related behavior (physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption) with the identified diet clusters.
resultsTwo diet clusters were identified, "more favourable" and "less favourable" one, the latter being slightly more prevalent. The main differences between the clusters were in the frequency of vegetables', fruit and milk and dairy products' consumption. More favourable diet type was associated with female sex, older age, higher income and education level, having a chronic illness/ illnesses, practicing healthy behaviors regarding physical activity and smoking and having a positive attitude towards health impact of diet and social activities.
conclusionsThe study findings could help in creating national dietary guidelines as well as health promotion activities tailored for specific population groups that account for their diet's characteristics.
