Dietary Phytochemical Index and Risk of Gallstone Disease: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aims: Gallstone disease (GSD), a common gastrointestinal disorder, arises from a combination of genetic and metabolic factors. Its rising prevalence is strongly linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia, all of which are modifiable through dietary interventions. The dietary phytochemical index (DPI), representing the consumption of bioactive plant-based compounds, may influence GSD risk. This study explored the association between DPI and GSD risk. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 189 newly diagnosed GSD patients and 342 controls. Dietary intake data were collected using a validated 168-item food frequency questionnaire and DPI was calculated as follow: daily energy obtained from foods rich in phytochemicals (kcal)/total daily energy intake (kcal)) × 100. Phytochemical-rich foods include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, olive oil, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Logistic regression models were applied to compute odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusting for potential confounders. Results: A significant reduction in GSD cases was observed with increasing DPI scores ( Conclusion: These findings demonstrated a significant inverse association between DPI and the risk of gallstone disease, indicating that phytochemical-rich foods may be protective against gallstone formation.
