Proteins as Mediators of the Association Between Dietary Pattern and Premature Coronary Heart Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Molecular nutrition & food research, 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
The relationship between dietary patterns and premature coronary heart disease (CHD), as well as the underlying proteomic mechanisms, remains incompletely understood. Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study, we calculated the population attributable fraction (PAF) to derive weights for dietary factors and constructed a dietary score specific to premature CHD. This score was evaluated in 14 134 UK Biobank participants with proteomics data. Protein associations with the dietary score and incident premature CHD were assessed using multivariable linear regression and Cox proportional hazards models under strict dual-filtering criteria. Statistical mediation analysis was performed to explore whether proteins may partially account for the observed diet-CHD association. A higher GBD dietary score was associated with a reduced risk of premature CHD. Individuals in the highest quintile (Q5) of the dietary score exhibited a 47.0% lower risk compared with those in the lowest quintile (Q1) (HR: 0.530; 95% CI: 0.350-0.803). From 134 robust proteins identified via stringent intersection analysis as associated with both diet and premature CHD, 133 showed statistical evidence of mediation, with proportions ranging from -3.8% to 27.6%. A higher GBD dietary score is associated with a reduced risk of premature CHD, with proteins potentially mediating this relationship.
