Exploring the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and different types of skin cancer: a cross-sectional study from NHANES 1999-2018.
Article in European journal of nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe potential role of diet-related inflammatory responses in skin carcinogenesis is gaining increasing recognition. This study investigated the association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and different types of skin cancer in the United States general population.
methodsThe study analyzed cross-sectional data on 45,409 participants in the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The association between the DII and different types of skin cancer was estimated using weighted multivariable logistic regression, and its non-linearity was examined using restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression. Subgroup analyses were stratified by age, sex, race, body mass index, hypertension status, diabetes status, and frequency of skin-protecting behaviors.
resultsThe adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for melanoma were 1.54 (1.02-2.35), 1.67 (1.02-2.73), and 1.55 (0.86-2.80) for the second, third, and fourth DII quartiles, respectively, compared with the first quartile. The adjusted ORs with 95% CIs for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) were 0.90 (0.68-1.19), 0.96 (0.69-1.35), and 1.01 (0.70-1.45) for the second, third, and fourth DII quartiles, respectively, compared with the first quartile. The RCS curves showed no overall or non-linear significant association between DII and melanoma prevalence (P = 0.240, Pnon-linearity = 0.144) or NMSC (P = 0.068, Pnon-linearity = 0.410).
conclusionThis study suggests that Compared with participants in DII quartile 1, those in DII quartiles 2 and 3 had a significantly increased risk of melanoma, whereas those in quartile 4 did not. These findings underscore the potential role of dietary inflammation in melanoma etiology and highlight the importance of further research to better understand and mitigate this risk factor.
