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

backgroundThoracic endometriosis syndrome gives rise to various clinical and radiological manifestations. We reviewed the records of patients operated for intrathoracic migration of abdominal viscera through a diaphragmatic hernia secondary to thoracic endometriosis.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the single-center prospective collected database of all patients operated for thoracic endometriosis during the twenty years. All cases in which an abdominal organ was found to be herniated into the thoracic cavity were retrieved. Clinical and pathological data are presented and analyzed.

resultsTwenty women of median age 36 (range 25-58) years were operated for endometriosis-related diaphragmatic hernia. The hernia was diagnosed concomitantly with endometriosis-related pneumothorax in 13 cases and during the exploration of catamenial thoracic pain in seven cases. There were 18 cases on the right side and two cases on the left side. The median diameter of the hernia was 8 cm (2.5-20 cm). In seventeen cases, the hernia was repaired by direct suture, and in three cases a heterologous prosthesis was positioned. At follow-up, two patients had an episode of recurrent pneumothorax.

conclusionsDiaphragmatic hernia should be ruled out in the presence of endometriosis-related pneumothorax or catamenial thoracic pain. Surgery is indicated to make a pathological diagnosis, restore anatomy, and prevent recurrence in patients presenting with pneumothorax.
