Inhibitory effect of traditional Korean medicine on the recurrent endometriosis after laparoscopic excision: a case report.
Article in Integrative medicine research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 is a common benign gynecologic tumor, and it can destroy a patient's life. Surgery and hormone therapy are established therapies for endometriosis. However, there are many cases of recurrent endometriosis after conventional therapies. This report presents a case of a patient who has repetitive recurrence of endometriosis after laparoscopic excision and hormone therapy. A 32-years-old female patient first had laparoscopic surgery to remove endometriosis in 2011. The disease recurred two more times after the first excision. Hormone therapy by dienogest and two more laparoscopic surgeries were done in 2012 and 2014. With acupuncture, moxibustion, fumigation therapy, and herbal medicine therapy, endometriosis didn't recur during treatment and observation period of 34 months. Menstrual pain numeric rating scales (NRS) decreased from 2 to none. Shortened menstrual cycle (24 days) after second surgery became longer (26.63 ± 2.28 days) after traditional Korean medicine therapy. This case presents the therapeutic potential of TKM for inhibitory effect on the recurrent endometriosis after laparoscopic excision and hormone therapy.
