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
backgroundEndometriosis is one of the most common pelvic diseases associated with dyspareunia, pelvic pain, and infertility. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the role of diet on the risk of endometriosis among Iranian women. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis case-control study was conducted in two health research centres between 2015 and 2016. There were 207 women with endometriosis (case) and 206 women without endometriosis (control) who were evaluated by laparoscopy. The women were asked about their frequency of consumption per week of portions of selected dietary items in the Iranian diet in the year before the interview.
resultsThe results indicated that intake of green vegetables (odds ratio [OR]=0.39, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.21-0.74, Ptrend=0.004), red meat (OR=0.61, 95% CI=0.41-0.91, Ptrend=0.015) and dairy products (milk [OR=0.65, 95% CI=0.47-0.92, Ptrend=0.014], cheese [OR=0.53, 95% CI=0.37-0.76, Ptrend<0.001]), fresh fruit (OR=0.68, 95% CI=0.50-0.93, Ptrend=0.015) and grain legumes (OR=0.59, 95% CI=0.47-0.77; Ptrend<0.001) had a significant association with lower risk of endometriosis. Consumption of carrots, green tea, fish, eggs and oil was not significantly related to the risk of endometriosis.
conclusionThis study suggests that certain types of dietary components may be related to the risk of endometriosis.
