Dietary inflammatory index and risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and advanced hepatic fibrosis in US adults.

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 and aims: This study aims to investigate whether the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and advanced hepatic fibrosis (AHF) among non-institutionalized adults in the United States. Methods: Utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2016, a total of 10,052 adults aged ≥18 years were included in the analysis. We used multivariable analysis, controlling for demographic variables, to evaluate the association between DII and NAFLD and AHF, a restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to model the non-linear relationship between DII and NAFLD. Results: For 10,052 participants, DII ranges from -4.63 to 5.47. Compared with quartile 1, higher DII group were associated with higher levels of female, separated/divorced, lower education level, heavy alcohol use, current smoke status, BMI, poverty income ratio, and waist circumference. DII also showed a significantly positive correlation with ALT, AST. In the fully adjusted multivariable model, DII was positively associated with the presence of NAFLD (OR 1.09, 1.06-1.13 CI, Conclusion: Higher pro-inflammatory level was associated with higher risk of NAFLD in males and females, and with higher risk of AHF in males but not in females. Therefore, strategies to promote an Zhang anti-inflammatory diet should be considered to prevent and ameliorate NAFLD and AHF in adults.
