Development of an Indian-adapted anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet for coronary artery disease patients.
Article in BMC nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeCoronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death in India. Diet is an important modifiable risk factor associated with CAD. The Mediterranean Diet (MD), with its anti-inflammatory properties, is protective against CAD. Traditional Indian diets have several anti-inflammatory ingredients similar to MD. However, current Indian dietary analysis reveals high consumption of cereals with low legume, nut, fruit, and vegetable intake. In this study, we aimed to develop an anti-inflammatory Indian Adapted Mediterranean Diet (IAMD) using locally available anti-inflammatory ingredients.
methodsWe did a free listing of the foods that constitute a Mediterranean diet. Then, we matched Indian alternatives where specific Mediterranean foods could not be used due to non-availability or cultural acceptability. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) scores were calculated for the developed menu to assess its anti-inflammatory potential. We also reviewed the diets of CAD patients and calculated the DII of their diets to understand their dietary intake and potential for replacing anti-inflammatory Indian food ingredients in their usual diets.
resultsThe current DII of the diets consumed by CAD patients ranged from -1.8 to 3.8, with a median score of 1.1. After carefully compiling anti-inflammatory Indian food ingredients and incorporating them into routine diets, calorie- and nutrient-specific diet plans with a 7-day cyclic menu with North Indian recipes were developed, aligning with Mediterranean Diet principles. DII scores of the developed diet plans ranged from -7.8 to -8.4, with a median of -8.0, approaching the theoretical maximum anti-inflammatory score.
conclusionsThe IAMD developed with the lowest DII scores reported has the potential to be cardioprotective. However, this diet plan needs to be tested for acceptability and effectiveness in feasibility studies and clinical trials.
