Nutrition and Endometriosis: Current Evidence on Dietary Risk Factors and Clinical Impact - A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of inflammation research, 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
Endometriosis (EM) is a severe chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, causing pain and significantly reducing quality of life. Worldwide, around 10% of women of reproductive age are affected and there is no cure as of now. The limited treatment options focus on hormone therapy, surgery and pain management--without satisfactory long-term effects. Nutritional strategies might support the prevention and treatment of EM-associated pain as nutrients and phytochemicals exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, modulate the immune system and hormonal balance. In addition, diet is a key determinant of the composition, health, and function of the gut microbiome. To identify the multitude of potential nutrition-related factors that influence the clinical picture of EM, we conducted a targeted literature search in PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar in 2025. This narrative review examines the association of thirteen areas-including macro- and micronutrients, dietary patterns, contaminants, allergens, and food intolerances-with the risk of EM and therapeutic options. At present, there is only limited scientific evidence regarding the therapeutic benefits of dietary strategies. There are promising indications for the supportive potential of an anti-inflammatory diet, based on elements of the MedD resulting in a regular intake of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, secondary plant compounds, dietary fibers, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Certain foods (or food groups) may contribute to a worsening of symptoms in individual patients with EM (eg, cruciferous vegetables, foods containing histamine, gluten, FODMAPs). Since these foods usually provide important nutrients, avoiding them as a preventive measure can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Therefore, individual assessment is required to determine the extent to which these foods are tolerated by women diagnosed with EM. To clarify the supportive role of personalized nutritional concepts to support therapy of EM, there is an urgent need for further high-quality studies.
