Risk factors for ovarian endometrioma recurrence following surgical excision: a systematic review and meta‑analysis.
Synthesis in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeExploring potential risk factors for OMA recurrence, thereby contributing to the individual management of the disease and improving the patients' prognosis.
methodsData sources PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang data were searched systematically before October 2020. We computed the pooled odd ratios or the standard mean difference with their corresponding 95% confidence interval to investigate the impact of involved risk factors on endometrioma recurrence.
resultsThe pooled findings of this meta-analysis demonstrated that endometrioma relapse was closely related to age at surgery [SMD (95% CI): - 0.28 (- - 0.38 to - 0.17), P < 0.00001], CA125 level [SMD (95% CI): 0.51 (0.14-0.88), P = 0.007], cyst size [SMD (95% CI): 0.35 (0.08-0.62), P = 0.01], dysmenorrhea [OR (95% CI): 1.47 (1.07-2.02), P = 0.02], endometriosis-related surgery history [OR (95% CI): 2.60 (1.84-3.67), P < 0.00001], pre-operative medication [OR (95% CI): 2.13 (1.41-3.22), P = 0.0003], rASRM score [SMD (95% CI): 0.33 (0.20-0.46), P < 0.00001]. Furthermore, post-operative pregnancy was indicated a protective factor for preventing the OMA recurrence after surgery [OR (95% CI): 0.22 (0.09-0.56), P = 0.001]
conclusionAge at surgery, CA125 level, cyst size, dysmenorrhea, endometriosis-related surgery history, pre-operative medication, rASRM score were risk factors for endometrioma relapse. In addition, post-operative pregnancy was a protective factor for preventing recurrence after surgery. However, the effect of bilateral involvement, combination with adenomyosis, or post-operative medication on endometrioma relapse need further investigations.
