1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Endometriosis is one of the most common benign diseases in women of reproductive age. Nearly all gynecological offices and clinics will contain patients with endometriosis; the frequency and severity of the disease will vary from one setting to another. Adjoining specialties, such as internal medicine, general medicine, surgery, urology, orthopedics, neurology and psychosomatic medicine, will be challenged directly or indirectly by various forms of endometriosis and its sequelae. The disease is characterized by pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and sterility. Even now, several years may elapse between the onset of the disease and its diagnosis. The diagnosis of endometriosis is complicated by the diversity of the symptoms. A precise documentation of the patient’s medical history and thorough diagnostic procedures are essential to establish a robust diagnosis. This article will discuss the perioperative considerations, diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis.
