Ulcerative Colitis Is Associated With Diet-related Inflammation and Physical Activity in the IBD Partners E-cohort.

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
backgroundIndividuals with ulcerative colitis (UC) seek complementary treatment methods, including diet and physical activity, to manage the burden of living with UC. This study examined associations between diet-associated inflammation, physical activity (PA), and UC-related health outcomes.
methodsData were obtained from 2052 IBD Partners e-cohort participants with UC. To quantify the inflammatory potential of food intake, dietary data were converted into Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and energy adjusted (E-DII) scores. Physical activity data were collected using the Godin-Shephard Leisure Time Activity Index. Outcome variables included the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index, Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire, and psychosocial PROMIS domains.
resultsHigher E-DII scores, as indicator of increased dietary inflammatory potential, were associated with increased disease activity (β = 0.166; P < .001), anxiety (β = 0.342; P = .006), depression (β = 0.408; P = .004), fatigue (β = 0.386; P = .005), sleep disturbance (β = 0.339; P = .003), and decreased social satisfaction (β = -0.370; P = .004) and quality of life (β = -0.056; P < .001). Physical activity was inversely associated with disease activity (β = -0.108; P < .001), anxiety (β = -0.025; P = .001), depression (β = -0.025; P = .001), fatigue (β = -0.058; P < .001), and sleep disturbance (β = -0.019; P = .008), while positively associated with social satisfaction (β = 0.063; P < .001) and quality of life (β = 0.005; P < .001). Beneficial effects were generally greater for strenuous PA intensity.
conclusionsAn anti-inflammatory diet and increased PA are associated with decreased disease activity, anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and fatigue, and associated with improved quality of life, sleep, and social satisfaction for patients with UC. Such modalities may reduce the daily burden of illness and aid in managing systemic and localized inflammation associated with UC.
