Dietary Inflammatory Index and Odds of Colorectal Cancer in a Case- Control Study from Iran
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 4 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
Background: In Iran, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third and fourth leading cause of cancer incidence among men and women, respectively. Diet and inflammation have been suggested as important risk factors for CRC. We examined the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores and CRC in a case-control study conducted in Iran. Methods: This study included 71 CRC cases and 142 controls hospitalized for acute non-neoplastic diseases. DII scores were computed from dietary intake assessed by a previously validated food frequency questionnaire. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for age, sex, education, energy intake, exercise, body mass index (BMI), smoking, family history of cancer, and history of aspirin, acetaminophen, and multivitamin use. Results: Subjects with higher DII scores (i.e., indicating a more pro-inflammatory diet) had a higher odds of CRC with the DII being used as both a continuous variable (OR continuous = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.22-3.87) and as a categorical variable (OR tertile 3 vs tertile1 = 2.47, 95%CI: 1.10-5.55). Conclusion: These results indicate that a pro-inflammatory diet is associated with increased odds of CRC in this Iranian population.
