An overview and comprehensive analysis of interdisciplinary clinical research in endometriosis based on trial registry.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06795243 (Efficacy of Physical Therapy Treatment in Endometriosis and Its Relationship to Adherence Rates.), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic multisystem disease associated with immunological, genetic, hormonal, psychological, and neuroscientific factors, leading to a significant socioeconomic impact worldwide. Though multidisciplinary management is the ideal approach, there remains a scarcity of published interdisciplinary clinical trials at present. Here, we have conducted a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics and issues of interdisciplinary trials on endometriosis based on the clinical registration database ClinicalTrials.gov. Among all 387 endometriosis trials, 30% (116) were identified as interdisciplinary, mostly conducted in Europe and North America, and fully funded by non-industrial sources. We documented growth in both patient-centered multidisciplinary comprehensive management and collaboration between fundamental biomedical science and applied medicine. However, compared to traditional obstetric-gynecological trials, interdisciplinary studies exhibited negative characteristics such as less likely to be randomized and less likely to report results. Our study provides insights for future trial investigators and may contribute to fostering greater collaboration in medical research.
