Dietary pattern and risk of endometrioma in Korean women: a case-control study.
Article in Obstetrics & gynecology science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate and compare the dietary patterns of Korean women diagnosed with endometrioma or other benign ovarian cysts.
methodsA total of 66 patients, comprising 39 patients who were surgically diagnosed with ovarian endometrioma and 27 control patients with other benign ovarian cysts, were included in this case-control study. Trained interviewers identified and interviewed the case patients and controls on the day before the laparoscopic ovarian surgery, using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire developed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Korea. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon sum-rank test for continuous variables and the χ2 test or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables.
resultsThe calcium intake from daily food consumption was significantly lower in patients with endometrioma than in those with other benign ovarian cysts. The dietary intakes of vitamin D, iron, and zinc were also relatively lower in patients with endometrioma than in patients with other benign ovarian cysts, although they did not reach the statistical significance threshold.
conclusionThe risk of endometrioma is significantly associated with a lower dietary intake of calcium. Future studies including a larger number of patients on a nationwide scale are urgently required for further clarification.
