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

Perianal endometriosis is a rare clinical presentation of the extrauterine appearance of endometrium reported in <1% of the cases. The condition is accompanied by perianal cyclic pain and a palpable mass. If diagnosed by physical examination only, the condition may be easily misinterpreted as a perianal abscess and treated improperly with incision, thus resulting in "abscess recurrence." Additional diagnostic imaging such as endoanal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging should be mandatory to provide an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment resulting in low recurrence rates. We present two cases of perianal endometriomas initially diagnosed and treated as perianal abscesses.
