Food Is Medicine: Diet Assessment Tools in Adult Inflammatory Bowel Disease Research.
Review in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundDiet significantly impacts the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diet offers unique opportunities for treatment and preventative purposes. However, despite growing interest, no diet has been conclusively associated with improved long-term clinical and endoscopic outcomes in IBD, and evidence-based dietary guidelines for IBD remain scarce. This narrative review critically examines dietary assessment methods tailored to the unique needs of IBD, highlighting opportunities for precision and inclusivity.
methodsWe conducted a comprehensive literature review using search terms related to diet, diet assessment, nutrition, food, sex, gender, equity, and IBD.
resultsThe identified dietary assessment tools evaluated nutritional quality, dietary patterns, food processing, lifestyle interactions, inflammatory potential, and effects of specific nutrients. Advanced methods, including biomarkers, multi-omics approaches, and digital tools, were highlighted as being complementary to traditional approaches, offering enhanced precision and real-time monitoring. Women remain under-represented in dietary research but face unique nutritional needs due to hormonal cycles, pregnancy, and higher malnutrition risks in IBD. DISCUSSION: Traditional diet assessment methods remain valuable but are often limited by misreporting biases. Advanced approaches may provide greater precision, enabling real-time monitoring and personalised dietary tracking. Incorporating considerations of sex, gender, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic, and sustainability enhances the relevance and applicability of these methods. Addressing these multifaceted aspects of dietary assessment in IBD can facilitate robust interventional trials.
conclusionsDiet assessment tools are essential for developing personalised dietary interventions in IBD, informing evidence-based guidelines, and improving health outcomes and quality of life in IBD.
