The Role of FODMAPs in Sports Nutrition: A Narrative Review and Clinical Implications.
Review 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesIntense physical activity can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, negatively impacting athletic performance. A low-FODMAP diet has the potential to reduce these symptoms and is increasingly being considered by physically active individuals. The aim of this review is to present the current knowledge on the importance of FODMAPs in sports nutrition.
methodsA narrative review was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, covering publications published up to October 2025. Original studies, reviews, and meta-analyses addressing the relationship between FODMAP intake and gastrointestinal symptoms during physical activity were included. Selected articles were assessed for specific criteria, and the results were grouped thematically to present the current state of knowledge.
resultsFODMAP consumption increases the risk of intestinal symptoms. Short-term FODMAP restriction, especially before and during exercise, reduced the severity of symptoms in most of the analyzed studies. Data on the long-term effects of a low FODMAP diet on the health, nutrition, and gut microbiota of athletes remain limited.
conclusionsA strategy of short-term FODMAP restriction in athletes' diets shows potential for reducing gastrointestinal symptoms. An optimal approach requires individualization. Further research is needed to monitor potential side effects and long-term outcomes.
