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 a chronic gynaecological condition characterized by inflammatory and immune abnormalities. Likewise, these dysfunctions are important hallmarks of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a condition that also has a high prevalence among women in reproductive age. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the association between endometriosis and SLE. We searched Medline and Web of Science for articles published from database inception to March 1, 2021. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed to provide a pooled risk ratio (RR). Individual study quality was evaluated following the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Quality Assessment Tools (NHLBI QAT). From the 225 articles identified through our search, five studies-assessing 152,355 women-were included. Included studies presented an overall poor or fair quality rating. We observed a significant association between endometriosis and SLE (RR = 2.47, 95% confidence interval: 1.33-4.59, P < 0.004, I
