1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between the Chinese Dietary Inflammatory Index (CHINA-DII) and the risk of gastric cancer (GC) among adults in Fujian Province of China. Methods: A 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted between July 2023 and November 2024. A total of 336 newly diagnosed GC cases were recruited from the Union Hospital, and 336 sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled from communities in Fujian Province. Dietary data were collected using food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and conditional logistic regression models were used to assess the association between CHINA-DII scores and GC risk. Results: A total of 672 participants were included, comprising 336 GC cases and 336 controls. The proportions of males and females were 56.5 and 43.5%, respectively. The mean age of the case group was 56.76 ± 10.34 years, significantly higher than that of the control group (53.86 ± 11.13 years, Conclusion: Lower intake of dietary vitamin C and vitamin D, as well as a higher overall dietary inflammatory potential, were significantly associated with an increased risk of GC. Younger, non-smoking, and those under greater psychological stress may be more sensitive to dietary inflammation.
