Energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index is associated with chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus in Hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundChronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is a common and bothersome symptom among hemodialysis (HD) patients. This study aimed to determine the association of Energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E-DII) index with the risk and severity of CKD-aP in hemodialysis patients.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 HD patients. A valid 168-item semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess the usual food intake and calculated E-DII. Yosipovitch Itch Questionnaire was used to assess CKD-aP. Based on the E- DII score, odds ratios, and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for the risk of CKD-aP. Generalized linear models (GLM) was used to determine the association between E-DII scores and CKD-aP score, and pruritus Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score.
resultsThe continuous E-DII score was associated with an increased risk of CKD-aP in all three models: model 1, OR = 1.19 (95% CI: 1.02-1.40); model 2, OR = 1.29 (1.01-1.65); and model 3, OR = 1.41 (1.01-1.98). Moreover, linear regression analysis showed statistically significant associations (P < .05) between the E-DII score and both CKD-aP and VAS scores across all three models.
conclusionsThis study provides evidence that higher consumption of a pro-inflammatory diet is associated with an increased risk of CKD-aP in HD patients. Future studies with prospective and interventional designs are required to clarify the association between this dietary index and CKD-aP in HD patients.
