Endometriosis in the Cecum: A Rare Clinical Entity.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cecal endometriosis is uncommon and may mimic other tumors of the colon, making it difficult to safely diagnose preoperatively. We report a case of a 50- year-old female who was found to have a cecal lesion during an endoscopic examination, which was performed for the investigation of anemia. It was also confirmed by conducting a computed tomography (CT) scan. Due to the high possibility of this mass identification as a neoplasm, the patient underwent a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with an extracorporeal side-to-side isoperistaltic anastomosis. However, the postoperative histological diagnosis of the mass was cecal endometriosis, as the histopathology report noted endometrial tissues in the submucosa and muscolaris propria of the ileocecal region. Endometriosis of the cecum is a rare manifestation and can often be misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor. Further research is required, concerning preoperative characteristics of bowel masses in women, in order to provide optimal operative treatment and avoid unnecessary invasive procedures.
