Relationship between diet quality and inflammatory bowel disease: a systematic review of observational studies.
Synthesis in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a prevalent digestive disorder, influenced by various factors, particularly dietary choices and overall diet quality. Various indices assess diet quality, yet their correlation with IBD severity and symptoms remains uncertain. This systematic review examines the relationship between IBD and diet quality, as measured by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), Healthy Eating Index (HEI), and Diet Quality Index (DQI).
methodsObservational studies investigating the association of DII, HEI, and DQI with IBD risk, severity, symptoms, quality of life, body composition, serum calprotectin, and inflammatory markers were selected without date or geographic restrictions. A systematic search of PubMed and Google Scholar was conducted on February 2024, following PRISMA guidelines.
resultsThe search yielded 6,995 articles, of which 14 observational studies (comprising 129,465 adults living with IBD) met the inclusion criteria. Seven studies examined DII, five assessed HEI, one analyzed both DII and HEI, and one investigated DQI in people with IBD.
conclusionFindings suggest that a lower dietary inflammatory load (as indicated by DII) is associated with reduced IBD risk, severity, and symptoms, alongside improved quality of life. However, further studies are needed to clarify the role of DII, HEI, and DQI in managing IBD management.
