Association between dietary inflammatory index and disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Considering the influence of dietary factors on inflammatory markers that may affect the disease course in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), this study aimed to assess the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) score and disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis. This cross-sectional study included 158 patients with UC. The Mayo Clinic score was used to determine the disease severity. A food frequency questionnaire was applied to gather the dietary information, then the Shivappa et al. method was used for the calculation of DII. An association between disease severity (dependent factor) and DII score quartiles (independent factors) was conducted by a logistic regression adjusted to different covariates. In this study, 53.8% of participants were in remission or had mild disease activity. The mean DII score was - 0.24 ± 0.66. The mean DII score was significantly lower in patients with remission (-0.34 ± 0.71) compared with patients who were in the active phase (-0.1 ± 0.57) of UC (P = 0.02). The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, the odds of severe disease were 3.33 times higher among patients who had a more pro-inflammatory diet compared with patients who had an anti-inflammatory diet [OR: 3.33 (95%CI: 1.13, 9.76), p = 0.02]. In conclusion, there was a significant association between higher intake of a pro-inflammatory diet and UC severity. So, from a clinical point of view, there is a need to apply an anti-inflammatory diet to decrease disease severity in patients with ulcerative colitis.
