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
backgroundThe auditory and vestibular systems are crucial for human perception, spatial orientation, and balance control. Dysfunction in these systems is a significant public health issue. This study explores the relationship between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and auditory-vestibular disorders such as hearing loss, tinnitus, and Peripheral Vertigo (PV).
methodsThe authors used data from the 2020-2023 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) to assess the associations between DII and hearing loss, tinnitus, and PV in Korean adults. A cross-sectional design was employed, with DII calculated based on dietary recall.
resultsThe study found significant associations between DII and moderate-to-severe hearing loss and PV. Specifically, higher DII scores were associated with an increased odds of hearing loss and PV. Subgroup analyses showed that women and older adults exhibited a stronger association between DII and hearing loss.
conclusionThe present findings suggest an association between higher DII and both hearing loss and PV. However, the cross-sectional design limits causal inference. Future longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the role of dietary inflammation in auditory and vestibular dysfunction.
