Impact of dietary patterns on pain and quality of life in ovarian and deep endometriosis: observational study for nutritional interventions.

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 impairs multiple dimensions of women's lives. Ovarian endometrioma and deep endometriosis present distinct clinical profiles. The dietary pattern has shown controversial data both for pain control and in the effect on women's vitality and physical health. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between dietary patterns and quality-of-life outcomes and pain perception in women with endometrioma and deep endometriosis.
methodsThis cross-sectional observational study included 40 Spanish-women grouped as controls, with endometrioma, or deep endometriosis. Dietary intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire, and was estimated macronutrient and food group intake, as well as adherence to DASH-diet, Mediterranean adherence, and healthy eating index. They were measured bodily pain, vitality, general health, and quality of life dimensions specific to endometriosis.
resultsDietary supplement use was higher in women with deep endometriosis (70%) compared to controls (13.3%, P = 0.015). Women with endometrioma consumed more dietary fat, monounsaturated fatty acids, and cholesterol than controls and, their adherence to the Mediterranean diet (control = 29.1 ± 5.0; endometrioma = 24.1 ± 7.2) and healthy eating index (control = 57.3 ± 3.9; endometrioma = 49.6 ± 8.0) were significantly lower. Dairy intake was lower in endometriosis groups compared to controls, while meat, snack, and fat consumption was higher in the endometrioma group. Furthermore, fat intake negatively impacted physical and reproductive health in endometriosis, while adherence to healthy dietary patterns was associated with improved life-outcomes.
conclusionsDietary patterns impact the health of women with ovarian and deep endometriosis, especially regarding pain and quality of life. Women with endometrioma have poor dietary habits, which affect sexual function and vitality. Targeted dietary interventions, particularly focusing on healthy fats, may improve pain symptoms and overall well-being.
