1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Neuroinflammation has been linked to the development of cognitive performance. Epidemiological evidence on dietary inflammatory potential and cognitive performance is scarce. We evaluated the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and cognitive performance in older adults. Methods: This study included adults aged 60 years or older from the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The DII scores were calculated based on 27 nutritional parameters. Cognitive performance was assessed with four cognitive tests: the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST, Results: Comparing the highest to lowest tertile of DII scores, the odds ratio (95% CI) of lower cognitive functioning was 1.97 (1.08-3.58) [ Conclusion: Higher DII is associated with lower scores on DSST and AF tests in older adults.
