Comorbidities and Quality of Life in Women Undergoing First Surgery for Endometriosis: Differences Between Chinese and Italian Population.
Article in Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in a group (n = 371) of fertile age women with endometriosis, by administering a structured questionnaire, in order to evaluate the incidence of gynecological and systemic comorbidities and the impact on quality of life (QoL) in two different groups of Italian and Chinese patients affected by endometriosis. Chinese (n = 175) and Italian (n = 196) women were compared regarding systemic (inflammatory, autoimmune, and mental) and gynecological comorbidities, pain symptoms, and QoL, by using the Short Form 12 (SF-12). Italian patients resulted younger at the diagnosis and suffered more frequently from severe pain than Chinese ones. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and mixed phenotypes were more frequent in Italian patients, whereas ovarian (OMA) and superficial endometriosis (SUP) were more common in the Chinese. The Italian group showed more systemic comorbidities, and those disorder were already present before the diagnosis of endometriosis. Furthermore, the Italian group showed lower SF-12 physical and mental scores, suggesting a worse health-related QoL in Italian endometriotic patients. A number of differences has been observed between Italian and Chinese women with endometriosis in terms of comorbidities and QoL, which may be related to the ethnicity, the different health system organization and the social and cultural background.
