Dietary inflammatory index and bladder cancer risk: a prospective study.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundDietary factors may play a role in bladder cancer etiology through modulation of inflammation. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the inflammatory potential of diet, as estimated by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII
methodsEnergy-adjusted DII (E-DII
resultsOver a median of 12.5 years of follow-up, 776 bladder cancer cases were diagnosed. E-DII scores were not associated with bladder cancer risk in the multivariable models. The HRs (95% CIs) in the highest compared with the lowest E-DII quintile were 0.90 (0.70-1.17) and 1.22 (0.72-2.06) for men and women, respectively. The associations did not differ when DII score was set as a continuous variable. The HRs (95% CIs) of one-unit increment in the E-DII for bladder cancer risk were 0.99 (0.96-1.02) and 1.01 (0.94-1.10) for men and women, respectively.
conclusionsOur study does not support an association between inflammatory potential of diet, as estimated by the E-DII, and bladder cancer risk.
