The Dietary Inflammatory Index and Incident Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Interactions with Obesity and Dyslipidemia in a Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Nutrients, 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
objectivesTo explore the association between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk and to evaluate potential interactions of obesity and dyslipidemia in the context of this association.
methodsThis cohort study included 8055 adults. Dietary data from food frequency questionnaires were used to calculate DII, reflecting dietary inflammatory potential. T2DM was defined as fasting plasma glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L, HbA1c ≥6.5%, a documented T2DM history, or glucose-lowering therapy. Multivariate Cox regression models assessed the DII-T2DM association, with multiplicative interaction analysis via product terms and additive interactions evaluated using relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and attributable proportion due to interaction (AP).
resultsAfter a median 5.01-year follow-up, 1034 incident T2DM cases had occurred. The highest versus lowest DII quartile showed an unadjusted HR of 1.20 (95% CI: 1.01-1.42), which attenuated after adjusting for demographic and clinical confounders. In women, the highest DII quartile had a significantly adjusted HR of 1.36 (1.03-1.81), with a 16% increased risk per 1-SD DII increase (adjusted HR:1.16, 95% CI:1.04-1.29); no association was observed in men. Positive multiplicative and additive interactions emerged in total participants between high DII and central obesity (measured by waist circumference/waist-to-hip ratio), accounting for 22% and 31% of excess T2DM risk, respectively. No interactions were found with dyslipidemia and other obesity metrics (BMI, waist-to-height ratio).
conclusionsThis study suggests that a highly pro-inflammatory diet may be associated with an increased incident risk of T2DM among women. Waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio and a high DII are found to act synergistically in elevating T2DM risk.
