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
Background: Endometriosis is a common benign gynecological disorder with high risk of recurrence and adverse impact on fertility-sparing. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SanJieZhenTong Capsules, a traditional Chinese medicine, in the long-term management of endometriosis postoperatively. Methods: and analysis: A prospective, double-blinded, double-dummy parallel-group randomized controlled trial will be conducted at three university-based medical centers in China. A total of 600 patients with rAFS III-IV endometriosis diagnosed by laparoscopy will be enrolled. After fundamental treatment (gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists injection starts on the first day of menstruation postoperatively, and repeats 3 times every 28 days), participants will be randomly allocated to the oral contraceptive group (oral contraceptive + dummy A) or SanJieZhenTong Capsules group (SanJieZhenTong Capsules + dummy B) in a 1:1 ratio. All participants will be treated and followed up for 52 weeks. The primary outcome is a recurrence rate based on endometriosis-related symptoms, physical examination, and/or ultrasound/MRI findings. The secondary outcome includes changes in quality of life and organic function outcome via the 36-item Short-Form scores and gastrointestinal function score. Conclusion: The current trial could provide rigorous evidence on SanJieZhenTong Capsules application in the long-term management of advanced-stage endometriosis.
