Dietary Inflammation and Chronic Dizziness With Imbalance in Middle-Aged and Older Adults: A Nationally Representative Study.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 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
backgroundChronic dizziness and imbalance, which can significantly impact an individual's quality of life and even mortality, are prevalent conditions with multifactorial etiologies, including inflammation. We examined the association between dietary inflammatory potential and chronic dizziness with imbalance.
methodsThis study included 7,562 Korean adults aged ≥ 40 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2019-2022. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) was calculated from 24-hour dietary recall, with higher scores indicating more pro-inflammatory diets. Chronic dizziness was categorized as isolated or accompanied by imbalance. Multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsPrevalence was 3.8% for isolated dizziness and 1.4% for dizziness with imbalance. Higher DII scores were associated with higher odds of chronic dizziness with imbalance (tertile 3 vs. tertile 1; OR, 2.89; 95% CI, 1.54-5.43;
conclusionA higher dietary inflammatory potential was associated with increased odds of chronic dizziness accompanied by imbalance, suggesting that dietary inflammation may be relevant to vestibular-related symptoms.
