The Role of Nutrition in Low Back Pain: A Narrative Review and Clinical Implications.
Review in American journal of lifestyle medicine, 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
Low back pain is a pervasive global public health problem. As with other chronic non-communicable diseases, dietary intervention can improve clinical outcomes and reduce health care costs. Pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments are included in non-invasive treatment clinical practice guidelines. Nutrition recommendations can also be added. This review summarizes existing information on nutrition and low back pain, identifies areas for further investigation, and proposes a role for dietary recommendations in treatment and prevention from a public health and patient care perspective. Nutritional goals for decreasing low back pain include maintaining a healthy weight, following an anti-inflammatory diet, optimizing micronutrient intake, and promoting gut microbiome health. Adherence to nutrition and health recommendations is influenced by social determinants of health, including neighborhood design, structural racism, access to healthy food, socioeconomic status, and educational level. Achieving nutritional health equity must be a top priority to reduce existing health disparities. Future research on the role of nutrition in low back pain, including optimal dietary patterns, should focus on developing recommendations to be integrated into an interdisciplinary approach to low back pain.
