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

Patients with peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) often suffer from progressive abdominal or pelvic pain. There is no established treatment. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman with PICs complaining of progressive abdominal pain and fullness who was initially treated with drainage and gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa). Despite the treatment, her symptoms worsened approximately one year later. She was again treated with drainage and GnRHa, and subsequently a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) was placed in her intrauterine cavity. Thereafter, her condition stabilized and no complications were reported. The LNG-IUS may be an effective management option for patients with PICs.
