The Inverted-U Relationship Between Dietary Inflammatory Potential and Hearing Loss Among Adults Aged 20 Years and Over in the United States: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of inflammation research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between dietary inflammatory index and objective hearing loss (HL). MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional analysis of a nationally representative sample of participants was performed based on data in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2009-2016). HL was defined as pure tone averages >25 dB at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz (low frequency); 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000 Hz (high frequency) in either ear. The energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E-DII) score was calculated for each participant based on two 24-h dietary recalls to assess diet-associated inflammation. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the linear relationship between HL and E-DII score or E-DII quartiles. Restricted cubic spline was applied to identify any non-linear associations of the E-DII score with hearing loss. Subgroup analyses were performed by age and gender to explore the moderating roles of these factors. Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) values were used to select the better-fitted model among linear and non-linear models.
resultsAn inverted-U shaped relationship with low-frequency hearing loss (LFHL) was identified for the E-DII score (P-nonlinear =0.023) after adjustment for potential confounders. But significant linear or nonlinear association between E-DII score and high-frequency hearing loss (HFHL) was not found.
conclusionE-DII score had inverted-U relationship with LFHL. Both pro-inflammatory diet and anti-inflammatory diet seemed to be associated with a decreased risk of LFHL compared to diet that was neither pro-inflammatory diet nor anti-inflammatory diet.
