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 and aim: Gallstone disease (GSD) is a major public health problem worldwide. The dietary inflammatory index (DII) and the energy-adjusted DII (E-DII) have been used to describe dietary inflammatory potential. The current study sought to investigate the pro-inflammatory role of diet on GSD among outpatients in the United States. Methods: Cross-sectional data from 7,334 individuals older than 20 years who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from January 2017 to March 2020 were obtained. The relationship between GSD and DII was assessed using self-reported data. An association between DII and the risk of GSD was determined using sample-weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic splines (RCS). Subgroup analyzes were conducted to assess the interaction between DII and related factors. Sensitivity analysis was further used to confirm the stability of the relationship. To control for the effect of total energy intake, E-DII was calculated and analyzed. Results: A total of 10.5% of the study participants had GSD. The DII ranged from -5.52 to 5.51, and the median DII was significantly higher for participants with GSD than those without (1.68 vs. 1.23, Conclusion: Higher DII/E-DII scores linked to the intake of a pro-inflammatory diet were positively associated with a higher risk of GSD. These findings suggest that pro-inflammatory dietary patterns can promote the formation of gallstones.
