Systemic inflammation mediates the association between the dietary index for gut microbiota and serum Klotho: evidence from NHANES 2007-2016.

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: The Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota (DI-GM) is a novel dietary assessment tool reflecting the impact of diet on gut microbiota composition. Serum Klotho, an anti-aging protein, has been implicated in various metabolic and inflammatory processes. However, the relationship between the DI-GM Score and serum Klotho levels, as well as the potential mediating role of inflammatory markers, remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between DI-GM and serum Klotho and to explore the mediating effect of systemic inflammation. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized data from the 2007-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Participants aged 40-79 years were included, and a total of 12,341 individuals remained after applying exclusion criteria. The DI-GM Score was calculated based on dietary intake data, while serum Klotho levels were measured using ELISA. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) were derived from complete blood counts to assess inflammation. Multivariate linear regression models, restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, subgroup analysis, and mediation analysis. Results: DI-GM Score was positively associated with serum Klotho levels after adjusting for confounders ( Conclusion: A higher DI-GM Score is significantly associated with increased serum Klotho levels among middle-aged and older adults, with systemic inflammation serving as a partial mediator. These findings suggest that dietary patterns promoting gut microbiota health may enhance Klotho levels, potentially contributing to anti-inflammatory and anti-aging processes in this population.
