Gross Ascites Secondary to Endometriosis: A Rare Presentation in Pre-Menopausal Women.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Ascites caused by endometriosis is an unusual phenomenon with approximately 60 cases described since it was first reported in 1954. Moreover, such a case has rarely been reported in the Caribbean literature. Ascites is frequently treated with surgical options that do not preserve fertility. This is due to the association of ascites with gynaecological malignancies in women with elevated serum cancer antigen (CA-125). We describe three cases of severe endometriosis associated with massive ascites, successfully treated with hormonal therapy while preserving fertility.
