Impact of endometrioma surgery on ovarian reserve: a prospective, randomized, pilot study comparing stripping with CO
Trial report in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03826355 (Impact on Ovarian Reserve According to the Type of Ovarian Endometrioma Excision), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo assess ovarian reserve through antral follicle count (AFC) and ovarian volume (OV) determination after decapsulation (stripping technique) or CO
methodsThis prospective, randomized, blinded, self-controlled pilot study was set in a tertiary university hospital between January 2017 and December 2017, and included consecutive patients with bilateral ovarian endometriomas ≥3 cm. The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov under the title 'Impact on ovarian reserve according to the type of ovarian endometrioma excision: laser versus conventional cystectomy'; NCT03826355. For each patient, the endometrioma on one side was randomly selected to undergo CO
resultsA total of 16 patients were included. There were no statistically significant between-group differences in OV and AFC levels at baseline. At the 6-month follow-up, OV and AFC levels were significantly higher in the laser-treated group versus the stripping technique.
conclusionLower OV and AFC levels following excisional surgery for endometrioma versus CO
