Dietary inflammatory potential, systemic inflammation, and cognitive function in healthy adults in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Objectives: To assess the relationship between the inflammatory potential of diets, measured using the energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII), and serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and cognitive function, assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Methods: A subset of 117 adults (18-50 years old) from a larger sample completed a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Serum hs-CRP was measured using a high-sensitivity immunoturbidimetric method, and ESR was assessed using the Westergren method. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to evaluate associations between E-DII, inflammatory markers, and cognitive outcomes after adjusting for age, sex, education, income, body mass index, and smoking status. Sample sizes varied in the analyses due to different subsets of participants providing complete data. Results: Higher E-DII scores were positively associated with hs-CRP level ( Conclusion: Pro-inflammatory dietary patterns are associated with higher systemic inflammation. However, no clear association was observed between dietary inflammatory potential/systemic inflammation, and cognitive function in this sample. Longitudinal and interventional studies with larger and more diverse populations, and incorporating additional inflammatory and cognitive biomarkers, are needed to further clarify these relationships.
