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

Hypertension is a major public health challenge globally and in Iran. Given the role of inflammation in hypertension development, this study aimed to examine the association between the inflammatory potential of diet, quantified using the energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII™), and the incidence of hypertension. The data of the present study were extracted from the Fasa Adult Cohort Study database. In this prospective cohort study, 10,138 participants were recruited at the baseline phase. Participants were contacted by telephone at regular intervals over 7 years. A selected group was also revisited after 5 years. Survival analysis was conducted to investigate the association between E-DII and hypertension incidence over a 7-year follow-up period, using Cox regression. Participants in the highest E-DII tertile (most pro-inflammatory diet) had a significantly higher risk for hypertension incidence during 7 years (HR
