The dietary inflammatory index is positively associated with low muscle mass in adults: an analysis of NHANES.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionUsing the data taken from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, we explored the relationship between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and low muscle mass (LMM) in adults.
methodsWe examined 20,424 adults ≥ 20 years old from the 1999-2006 and 2011-2018 NHANES. We hypothesized that the DII is positively associated with the risk of LMM in adults. Regression, subgroup, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were used to determine the association between the DII and the risk of LMM.
resultsAnalyzing the DII as a continuous variable revealed that each unit increase in DII was associated with an 11% increase in the risk of LMM. When categorized by quartile grouping, the analysis indicated that individuals in the highest DII quartile exhibited a 1.78-fold higher risk of LMM compared to those in the lowest quartile (OR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.45-2.18). The RCS analysis demonstrated that the risk of LMM remained stable for DII below 1.77, but increased sharply for DII of 1.77 or higher. Subgroup analysis further revealed that the impact of DII on LMM risk was more pronounced in individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m
conclusionIt is necessary to adjust the diet according to the DII to reduce the possibility of LMM and to prevent the occurrence of sarcopenia.
