Dietary inflammatory index and gestational diabetes mellitus in a multicenter cross sectional study in Suzhou.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 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: Evidence linking dietary inflammatory potential with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been inconsistent. We examined this association in a multicenter cross-sectional study. Methods: Women attending three tertiary hospitals in Suzhou, China, from February to November 2025 completed a food-frequency questionnaire at 24 to 28 gestational weeks, recalling the preceding three months. A 26-parameter Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) was calculated, and GDM was defined from 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) values. Logistic regression adjusted for demographic, socioeconomic, obstetric, behavioral, and hospital covariates. Results: The primary analysis included 1,071 women after removal of 23 exact duplicate records; 225 (21.0%) had GDM. Mean age was 29.28 years (SD 4.17), prepregnancy body mass index was 22.42 kg/m² (SD 3.28), and DII was 0.71 (SD 1.13). Each one-SD higher DII was associated with higher adjusted GDM odds (OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.51; P = 0.011). The adjusted quartile trend was not significant (P = 0.162), and there was no evidence of nonlinearity (P = 0.888). Among 803 women completing the questionnaire one to three days before OGTT, the estimate was attenuated and imprecise (OR 1.20, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.48). Conclusion: Higher continuous DII was associated with GDM, but quartile and sensitivity analyses limited the consistency of the findings. Overlapping exposure and outcome windows and measurement limitations precluded causal or predictive interpretation.
