Blood tests for prediction of deep endometriosis: A case-control study.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundDeep endometriosis (DE) is the most aggressive subtype of endometriosis. The diagnosis may be challenging, and no biomarkers that can discriminate women with DE from those without DE have been developed.
aimTo evaluate the role of blood hemostatic parameters and inflammatory indices in the prediction of DE.
methodsThis case-control study was performed at the Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine between January 2015 and December 2016. Women with DE and women with benign gynecologic disease (control group) eligible for gynecological surgery were enrolled. Routine plasma hemostatic parameters and inflammatory indices were obtained before surgery. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated, and areas under the curve (AUC) were calculated to assess the predictive values of the selected parameters.
resultsA total of 126 women were enrolled, including 31 with DE and 95 controls. Plasma fibrinogen (Fg,
conclusionThe combination of Fg and HB was a reliable predictor of DE. A larger study is needed to confirm the findings.
