1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo study the prevalence, clinical and laparoscopic characteristics of endometriosis in infertile women. STUDY

designThis is a hospital-based prospective study. PATIENTS: Five hundred and two (502) patients underwent diagnostic laparoscopy for evaluation of cause for infertility. Staging of endometriosis was done according to the rAFS scoring system.

resultsOut of 502 women, 276 (54.98 %) showed the presence of endometriosis, while 226 (45.01 %) did not have endometriosis. One hundred and eighty-three (66.3 %) women had stage I endometriosis, 49 (17.77 %) had stage II, 23 (8.33 %) had stage III and 21 (7.6 %) had stage IV endometriosis.

conclusionMore than 50 % of patients in our study were asymptomatic; however, the presence of menorrhagia, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia and chronic pelvic pain are also clinically statistically significant. So, we would like to recommend the evaluation and treatment of a patient reporting in gynaecological OPD with the above-mentioned complaints with high suspicion of endometriosis.
