Inflammatory, antioxidant, and gut microbiota-related dietary indices and gastric cancer risk: a case-control study.
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
Background: Dietary patterns may influence gastric carcinogenesis through inflammatory, oxidative, intestinal permeability, and gut microbiota-related pathways. However, comprehensive studies simultaneously evaluating inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbiota-oriented dietary indices together with multiple biological biomarkers in gastric cancer remain limited. Methods: This case-control study included 960 adults comprising 480 patients with histologically confirmed gastric cancer and 480 control participants. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI), and Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota (DI-GM) were calculated and categorized into tertiles. Inflammatory, oxidative stress, intestinal permeability, and microbiota-related biomarkers were measured using standardized laboratory methods. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate associations between dietary indices and gastric cancer risk. Results: Patients with gastric cancer had significantly higher DII scores and significantly lower CDAI and DI-GM scores compared with controls (all Conclusion: In conclusion, proinflammatory dietary patterns were associated with greater odds of gastric cancer, whereas diets rich in antioxidants or supportive of gut microbiota showed inverse associations. These associations were accompanied by differences in inflammatory, oxidative stress, intestinal permeability, and microbial metabolism related biomarkers. However, due to the case-control design, causality cannot be inferred, and the findings should be considered associational rather than causal.
