Higher Dietary Phytochemical Index Is Associated With Lower Disease Activity, Inflammation, and Gut Dysbiosis in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis.

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
Dietary phytochemicals possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may modulate disease activity in ulcerative colitis (UC). This study examined the association between the Dietary Phytochemical Index (DPI) and disease activity, biomarkers, gut microbiota, and psychological health in UC patients. In this cross-sectional study of 350 UC patients, dietary intake was assessed using a validated FFQ to calculate the DPI. Participants were stratified into DPI quartiles. Disease activity was measured via the Mayo score. Biomarkers (FCP, CRP, IL-6, ESR, homocysteine, zonulin), gut microbiota diversity, Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, and SCFA levels were analyzed. Psychological status and quality of life were evaluated using validated questionnaires (PHQ-9, GAD-7, PSQI, FSS, SIBDQ, IBD Disability Index). Participants with higher DPI scores showed significantly lower levels of FCP, CRP, IL-6, ESR, homocysteine, and zonulin (all
