Evaluation of Bowel Function of Women with Colorectal Endometriosis: a Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The objective was to evaluate bowel function in women with colorectal endometriosis according to treatment type. Cross-sectional study, carried out with 141 women with endometriosis, followed by the University of Campinas from May 2020 to April 2021. Women were divided into 3 groups according to the kind of treatment: 16 women with conservative surgery, 35 women with radical surgery treatment, and 90 women with clinical treatment. The clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of these women were evaluated. To access bowel outcome, we used the following questionnaires: the Bristol Stool Scale, the Bowel Function in the Community, the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI), and the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20). The mean treatment time was 32.24 ± 29.37 months. The women of the three groups had similar gastrointestinal quality of life index scores (p = 0.27) and pelvic floor distress inventory scores (p = 0.23). Women in the radical surgery group had a higher frequency of evacuatory effort and change in posture to evacuate (p = 0.01 and 0.009, respectively) than did those in the other groups. Women with constipation had worse quality of life and more pain than those without constipation. In conclusion, women with endometriosis treated with radical surgery (segmental resection) had a higher frequency of constipation. In addition, women with endometriosis and constipation had a worse quality of life and higher pain scores compared to those without constipation.
