Endometrioma and ovarian reserve: effects of endometriomata per se and its surgical treatment on the ovarian reserve.
Review in Facts, views & vision in ObGyn, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Endometrioma is the cystic lesion of ovaries originating from endometrial glands and stroma. This condition is present in 17 to 44% of endometriosis patients. The ovarian reserve is decreased in women with endometriomas, as compared to similarly aged healthy women or women with other benign ovarian cysts. Some data suggest women with endometrioma experience a faster decline in AMH than age matched healthy women. Multiple well-designed studies consistently demonstrate that surgical excision of endometrioma is associated with a decline in the ovarian reserve. Recent studies with long term follow up suggest some recovery in the markers of ovarian reserve, but they almost never reach preoperative levels. The energy modality and choice of hemostatic method may be important. Limited data suggest ablation of the cyst wall with plasma energy is associated with less harm to reserve with similar recurrence rates as compared with excision and bipolar coagulation. In conclusion, bipolar diathermy seems to be the most harmful hemostatic method to ovarian reserve and its use should be cautiously minimized.
