Relationship between the dietary inflammation index and hypertension in American children and adolescents: findings from the national health and nutrition examination survey 1999-2018.

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
This study aimed to examine the relationship between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and hypertension in children and adolescents using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 1999 and 2018. The analysis included 18,460 participants aged 8 to 17 years, with 2,070 diagnosed with youth hypertension, defined as blood pressure above the 95th percentile for their age and gender. Dietary information was collected to calculate the DII, which was initially treated as a continuous variable and later categorized into tertiles. Multivariable weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were conducted to explore the association between DII and youth hypertension. The results revealed a positive relationship between higher DII scores and increased likelihood of hypertension in youth, with both regression and RCS analyses showing a linear positive correlation after adjusting for potential confounders. The findings suggest that managing dietary inflammation may be an important strategy for preventing hypertension in children and adolescents.
