Dietary Inflammatory Index and Blood Pressure Levels in Mexican Adults.
Article in Nutrients, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe relationship between the dietary inflammatory index and blood pressure has been evaluated in European and American populations. This association remains unexplored in Mexico, where outcomes may differ due to the populace's ancestral heritage and its diverse dietary habits.
methodsWe used the Health Workers Cohort Study (2004 to 2018). DII intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Blood pressure was measured following standardized procedures and techniques. Fixed-effects linear regression and Cox regression models were utilized as the statistical approaches.
resultsIn the first approach, we observed a positive association between changes in DII intake and changes in both systolic (SBP β: 3.23, 95% CI 1.11, 5.34) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP β: 1.01, 95% CI -0.43, 2.44). When stratified by hypertension, these associations were magnified in participants with hypertension (SBP β: 6.26, 95% CI 2.63, 9.89; DBP β: 1.64, 95% CI -0.73, 4.02). In the second approach, interactions between sex and age categories were explored. Participants in the highest DII category were associated with an increased risk of hypertension, particularly among young women (HR: 3.16, 95% CI 1.19, 8.43).
conclusionsResults suggest that a pro-inflammatory diet is associated with an increase in blood pressure over time among Mexican population.
