The association between dietary inflammation index and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis in Americans.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundThe correlation between dietary inflammation index (DII) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been found, but the effect of confounding factors is not considered. This study aims to further explore the association between DII and RA risk by taking the Americans as the research object.
methodsThe data from the 2005-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database included 1819 self-reported RA individuals and 8602 non-RA individuals. The analytical methods include logistic regression, additive model, smooth curve fitting, and the recursive algorithm.
resultsThere was a positive correlation between DII and RA in Americans (β = 1.068, 95% CI = 1.026 to 1.111, P = 0.001). This result was still presented in the subgroup analysis, including age less than 50 years, female, other Hispanics, BMI ≥ 25, and federal poverty rate > 185%, and it was more pronounced in smokers. The results show that the superposition of DII and other risk factors would increase the risk of RA (β > 1.068). In addition, individuals with RA are inadequate in intake of anti-inflammatory foods, in line with the Mediterranean diet.
conclusionsThe inflammatory potential of the diet is positively correlated with the risk of RA, and has a superimposed effect with other risk factors, increasing the probability of the risk of disease. These results emphasize that reducing the intake of pro-inflammatory foods may be an effective measure to prevent the onset of rheumatoid arthritis. However, eating anti-inflammatory foods exclusively is not the best option. Intaking some pro-inflammatory foods like protein, energy, and total saturated acids may be necessary to maintain the physiological function of the human body. Key Points • Dietary inflammation index (DII) is positively correlated with RA risk. • When DII and other risk factors appear at the same time, the effects of the two will be superimposed on each other, increasing the risk of RA. • When the DII is the same, Hispanic has a higher incidence of RA. • Among the pro-inflammatory foods, the intake of protein, energy, and saturated fatty acids is still required by RA patients.
