1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesRecent reports on the co-occurrence of allergies and endometriosis have provided grounds for expanding research in this area, suggesting that diagnostics should be extended to women with endometriosis. However, numerous studies on nutrients and antioxidants do not specify the type of diet that supports the treatment process. In our review, we focus on the types of food elimination and dietary approaches that have been used.

methodsThis systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. We searched the EMBASE, PUBMED and SCOPUS databases, as well as the bibliographies of research papers and reviews, including the latest reports from June 2025. The search keywords were "endometriosis" and "type of diet", "nutrition", "food products", "nutrients", "elimination diet", and "allergies".

resultsExcluding coexisting allergies and introducing an anti-inflammatory diet low in animal products, limiting butter and margarine, and eliminating fried foods and refined simple sugars may be the best solution to help treat endometriosis.

conclusionsPersonalised nutritional counselling for patients with endometriosis is particularly helpful and necessary, as there is no single elimination diet that can be recommended for all patients with endometriosis. The first step should be an anti-inflammatory diet, such as the Mediterranean diet or the MIND diet (Mediterranean-DASH diet intervention for neurological delay), followed by more in-depth allergy screening. The phenotypic diversity of this group of patients may require the use of a low-FODMAP (fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides and polyols), low-nickel, gluten-free or other elimination diet.
