Diet Quality, Dietary Inflammatory Potential, and All-Cause Mortality in U.S. Adults With Asthma-COPD Overlap.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 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
Asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) is associated with increased mortality and disease burden compared to asthma or COPD alone. Diet, a modifiable risk factor, influences inflammation and lung health, yet its impact on ACO mortality remains understudied. This study investigates the synergistic effects of the Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2015) and Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) on all-cause mortality in ACO patients. Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2018, we analyzed 609 U.S. adults with ACO, defined by clinical and spirometric criteria. Dietary patterns were assessed via HEI-2015 (diet quality) and DII (inflammatory potential). Cox proportional hazards models evaluated associations with mortality, adjusting for sociodemographic, lifestyle, and clinical confounders. Restricted cubic spline analyses explored non-linear relationships, and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression identified key dietary components for a prognostic nomogram. Healthier diets (higher HEI-2015) were associated with lower mortality risk (HR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.97-0.99, highest quartile), while pro-inflammatory diets (higher DII) increased risk (HR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.04-1.22). The combination of healthy and anti-inflammatory diets showed the strongest protective effect (HR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.47-0.98). LASSO regression identified PUFA, total dairy, whole fruit, and n-6 fatty acids as key predictors, incorporated into a nomogram with moderate predictive accuracy (AUC: 0.64-0.67). Kaplan-Meier curves confirmed better survival in low-risk dietary groups (
