Endometriosis in the rectum accompanied by hemorrhoids leading to diagnostic pitfalls: a rare case report.

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
backgroundHemorrhoid is a common anorectal disease. Hemorrhoids accompanied by endometriosis are unusual. As endometriosis in the rectum may mimic many other diseases, including cancer and inflammation, its diagnosis may be difficult, especially when it is combined with other diseases. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we present a rare case of a patient with hemorrhoids accompanied by endometriosis in the rectum. The endometriosis mass was detected by digital rectal examination and CT scan and confirmed by pathological examination. The mass was approximately 0.8 cm × 0.6 cm and located in the muscularis and submucosa of the rectum 8 cm from the anus.
conclusionsIn this case, hemorrhoid is a common disease of rectum and anal canal. However, when it is complicated by another rare disease, the rare one can be easily neglected because of the existence of the common one, especially when the two diseases have similar lesions or symptoms. We suggest that strict physical examination, such as the digital rectal examination in the current case, is critical for correct disease diagnosis.
