The Prevalence of Incidental Endometriosis in Women Undergoing Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling for Clomiphene-Resistant Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
To evaluate the incidence of endometriosis in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients who did not present with any endometriosis symptoms and underwent laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) for clomiphene citrate (CC) resistance, 225 and 630 women with CC-resistant PCOS without classic endometriosis symptoms were included in a retrospective study and a meta-analysis, respectively. All women underwent LOD. The main outcome parameter was the prevalence of incidental endometriosis. Laparoscopy revealed endometriosis in 38/225 (16.9%) women (revised American Fertility Society (rAFS) stage I: 33/38, 86.8%; rAFS stage II: 5/38, 13.2%). When women with CC-resistant PCOS without endometriosis were compared, lower body mass index (BMI) and lower 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels were associated with the presence of endometriosis at laparoscopy (odds ratios (OR): 0.872, 95% confidence intervals (95%CI): 0.792-0.960;
