The association between dietary inflammatory index and diabetic foot ulcers in type 2 diabetes: a case-control study.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a major complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study examined the association between the Energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII) and odds of DFUs. Methods: In a case-control study, 100 patients with DFUs and 150 T2DM controls were recruited. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated FFQ, and E-DII scores were calculated. Logistic regression estimated odds of DFUs across E-DII tertiles. Results: DFU patients had higher E-DII scores than controls (2.1 vs. 1.5, Conclusion: Our findings suggest that a pro-inflammatory diet, as measured by the E-DII, is associated with an increased odds and severity of DFUs in individuals with T2DM.
