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
Introduction: Endometriosis is a systemic inflammatory disease in which immune dysregulation and oxidative stress contribute to pain and impaired quality of life. This study aimed to examine whether antioxidant and inflammatory dietary patterns are associated with pain, sexual and reproductive function, and psychological wellbeing in women with ovarian endometrioma (OMA), and whether these associations differ according to surgical status. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study included women with OMA undergoing hormonal therapy, classified according to whether they had surgery (S, Results: Women with OMA showed significantly lower psychological wellbeing, sexual and reproductive function, and higher pain sensitivity compared with controls, with poorer reproductive function in OMA NS. Lymphocyte levels were higher in women with OMA. Higher antioxidant dietary scores (Nut PC1 and DAI) were associated with lower pain sensitivity and better psychological wellbeing. In contrast, protein-related patterns (Nut PC2) were positively, and lipid-related patterns (Nut PC3) were negatively associated with menstrual characteristics and sexual function. Psychological wellbeing was inversely associated with OMA and but positively related to antioxidant dietary patterns. Antioxidant dietary index (DAI) was higher in women with OMA S than in controls and OMA NS, while dietary inflammatory index (DII) was lower in OMA NS versus control, with no differences compared to OMA S. Discussion: Nutrition may modulate symptom perception in women with OMA undergoing hormonal therapy, particularly through antioxidant-rich dietary patterns. These associations appear to be influenced by surgical history and systemic inflammation. Integrating personalized nutritional counseling alongside conventional treatments may offer a feasible strategy to enhance quality of life in this population.
