The Dietary Inflammatory Index and Current Wheeze Among Children and Adults in the United States.
Article in The journal of allergy and clinical immunology. In practice. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundA proinflammatory diet may increase allergic airway inflammation by affecting innate and adaptive immune responses.
objectiveIn this study, we examine the relation between the diet's inflammatory potential, measured by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), and current asthma, current wheeze, and lung function in U.S. children and adults.
methodsWe analyzed data from 8,175 children (aged 6-17 years) and 22,294 adults (aged 18-79 years) who participated in the 2007-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The DII was calculated by nutrient intake based on 24-hour dietary recalls, and normalized as per 1,000 calories of food consumed to account for total energy intake. Multivariable regression models were used for the analysis of the DII and current asthma, current wheeze, and lung function measures.
resultsHigher DII (a proinflammatory diet) was associated with current wheeze among adults (eg, odds ratio [OR] for quartile 4 vs 1, OR = 1.41, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.17-1.70; P
conclusionsOur findings suggest that a proinflammatory diet, assessed by the DII, increases the odds of current wheeze in adults and children with allergic (atopic) wheeze. These results further support testing dietary interventions as part of the management of asthma.
