Longitudinal changes in the dietary inflammatory index: an assessment of the inflammatory potential of diet over time in postmenopausal women.
Observational study in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe dietary inflammatory index (DII) measured at one time point is associated with risk of several chronic diseases, but disease risk may change with longitudinal changes in DII scores. Data are lacking regarding changes in DII scores over time; therefore, we assessed changes in the DII in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). SUBJECTS/
methodsDII scores were calculated using data from repeated food frequency questionnaires in the WHI Observational Study (OS; n=76 671) at baseline and year 3, and the WHI Dietary Modification trial (DM; n=48482) at three time points. Lower DII scores represent more anti-inflammatory diets. We used generalized estimating equations to compare mean changes in DII over time, adjusting for multiple comparisons, and multivariable-adjusted linear regression analyses to determine predictors of DII change.
resultsIn the OS, mean DII decreased modestly from -1.14 at baseline to -1.50 at year 3. In the DM, DII was -1.32 in year 1, -1.60 in year 3 and -1.48 in year 6 in the intervention arm and was -0.65 in year 1, -0.94 in year 3 and -0.96 in year 6 in the control arm. These changes were modified by body mass index, education and race/ethnicity. A prediction model explained 22% of the variance in the change in DII scores in the OS.
conclusionsIn this prospective investigation of postmenopausal women, reported dietary inflammatory potential decreased modestly over time. Largest reductions were observed in normal-weight, highly educated women. Future research is warranted to examine whether reductions in DII are associated with decreased chronic disease risk.
