Dietary and lifestyle inflammation scores and incidence of cardiovascular disease and heart failure: evidence from a longitudinal cohort.
Article in Nutrition journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWe investigated the associations of dietary and lifestyle inflammation scores (DIS and LIS) with the incidence of all cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, its different subtypes, including hard CVD, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), as well as heart failure (HF).
methodsWe analyzed data from 5866 participants aged ≥ 45 years from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). DIS and LIS were constructed using food frequency and lifestyle questionnaire data. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of DIS and LIS for CVD outcomes.
resultsOver 14 years, there were 822, 600, 290, 252, and 270 events of all CVD, hard CVD, HF, stroke, and MI, respectively. In continuous scale, each one-point increase in DIS was associated with higher risk of all CVD (HR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01-1.07), hard CVD (1.05; 1.01-1.08), and MI (1.06; 1.01-1.12). In quintile analysis, the highest DIS quintile was associated with an elevated risk of all CVD (1.28; 1.02-1.61; P trend = 0.067) and hard CVD events (1.47; 1.12-1.92; P trend = 0.013). In subgroup analysis, the impact of DIS on all CVD events was more pronounced among overweight participants compared to normal weight or obese counterparts (P-interaction < 0.001). Furthermore, each one-point increase in LIS was associated with a 36% higher risk of HF (1.36; 1.12-1.62). Participants in the highest LIS quintile had a 75% higher risk of HF (1.75: 1.18-2.59), compared to those in the lowest quintile.
conclusionDiet and lifestyle, through their contributions to inflammation, may be associated with higher CVD risk, particularly hard CVD, MI, and HF.
