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

Background: Dietary and lifestyle inflammation scores (DIS/LIS) were created to assess their contributions to systemic inflammation; however, there is little understanding of their validity in Hispanic adults. Objective: This study aims to utilize DIS and LIS in the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study (BPRHS), as previously published, and create cohort-adapted scores. Adapted scores were validated in The Puerto Rico Observational Study of Psychosocial, Environmental, and Chronic disease Trends (PROSPECT). Methods: This cross-sectional analysis assessed diet from a food-frequency questionnaire, self-reported lifestyle information, and inflammation from fasted blood. Published food and lifestyle groups were used to create DIS-1 and LIS-1. Cohort-adapted food and lifestyle groups were used to create DIS-2 and LIS-2 in the BPRHS ( Results: In BPRHS, DIS-1 showed a 1.07 (95% CI: 1.01, 1.15) times greater odds of a high inflammation BMS with each 1-unit increase in the DIS-1 and a 2.86 (95% CI: 2.14, 3.56) times greater odds of a high BMS with each 1-unit increase in the LIS-1. In PROSPECT, LIS-1 showed a 2.91 (95% CI: 2.33, 3.67) times greater odds of high hsCRP with each 1-unit increase in LIS-1; results were similar in linear analyses. DIS-3 was characterized by three factors. In BPRHS, high (quintile 5) vs. low (quintile 1) adherence to factor 1 (healthy diet) showed a 0.57 (95% CI: 0.35, 0.92) times lower odds of high BMS. DIS-3 was not associated with high hsCRP in PROSPECT. Conclusion: Predetermined lifestyle inflammation scores were associated with inflammation in this population, but dietary inflammation scores were inconsistent in their association with inflammation. Cohort-specific adaptation did not improve the scores' association with inflammatory status. Further work is needed to understand the role of diet in the development of inflammation in these populations of Hispanic adults.
