The Role of Nutrition on the Pathogenesis of Endometriosis.
Review in Nutrients, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundEndometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Increasing evidence suggests that diet may influence endometriosis development and symptom severity through modulation of inflammation, oxidative stress, and hormone metabolism. This scoping review aimed to map current evidence on the role of nutrition in endometriosis.
methodsThis scoping review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. PubMed and Scopus were searched for original human studies published in English between 2014 and 2024. Eligible studies examined dietary patterns, food groups, micronutrients, bioactive compounds, body mass index, or fat consumption in relation to endometriosis risk, progression, or symptoms.
resultsDiets rich in fruits and vegetables, including Mediterranean and low-FODMAP dietary patterns, were associated with reduced pain symptoms and improved quality of life. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients, particularly vitamins C and D, zinc, and curcumin, were linked to modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, angiogenesis, and cellular proliferation. Evidence regarding dairy intake, gluten, carbohydrates, dietary fat, and BMI was inconsistent or limited. Considerable heterogeneity across study designs and outcome measures was observed.
conclusionsDietary factors may contribute to the modulation of endometriosis-related symptoms and underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Nutrients with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties appear promising as complementary, non-invasive strategies; however, methodological heterogeneity highlights the need for high-quality randomized controlled trials.
