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

backgroundEndometriosis is characterized by the ectopic occurrence of endometrial tissue. Though considered benign, endometriotic lesions possess tumor-like properties such as tissue invasion and remodeling of the extracellular matrix. One major clinical hurdle concerning endometriosis is its diagnosis. The diagnostic modalities ultrasound and MRI are often unable to detect all lesions, and a clear correlation between imaging and clinical symptoms is still controversial. Therefore, it was our aim to identify a potential target to image active endometriotic lesions.

resultsFor our studies, we employed the preclinical radiotracer [

conclusionEstrous cycle stages characterized by high estrogen levels result in a higher abundance of relaxed fibronectin in the murine myometrium. This finding together with a first proof-of-concept study employing human endometriosis tissues suggests that relaxed fibronectin could be a potential target for the development of a diagnostic radiotracer targeting endometriotic lesions.
