Abdominal scar endometriosis.

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
backgroundAbdominal scar endometriosis is an uncommon pathology. It can occur in any abdominal scar, most often after a surgical procedure on the uterus.
aimThe purpose of this study is to highlight the potential pitfall in the diagnosis of this disease. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis retrospective study reviewed all cases of proven abdominal scar endometriosis seen in a 5-year period (2002-2006) in our hospital, noting the demographic data of the patients and management. They were all treated by the same surgeon and also had histopathological confirmation of the lesion.
resultsA total of 14 women were treated during this period. They were all pre-menopausal. The mean age was 29.1years (range 20 to 42). Presenting symptoms included painful 'heaped-up' scars and cyclical pain related to their menstrual periods. They were referred to the general surgical clinic with various diagnoses such as incisional hernia, granuloma, keloid scar etc. All the patients had history of previous surgical procedures on the uterus for various indications. Treatment was a wide excision of the lesion with apposition of the edges only. Specimens were examined histologically and confirmed to be endometriosis. The follow up periods were rather short as the patients stopped to attend the hospital. During this period, there was no recurrence or wound break-down.
conclusionAlthough scar endometriosis is a rare entity, a good and diligent surgical history and a high index of suspicion are the keys for a pre-operative diagnosis.
