A decade to wait: Update on the average delay to diagnosis for endometriosis in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Article in The Australian & New Zealand journal of obstetrics & gynaecology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a common condition with varying delays from symptom onset to diagnosis reported internationally. In New Zealand, the previously accepted average delay to diagnosis was 8.6-8.7 years. An online survey completed by the largest cohort of self-reported New Zealand-confirmed endometriosis patients (n = 1024) for the collection of delay to diagnosis was conducted in September and October of 2023. The results revealed an average delay of 9.7 ± 7.1 years overall, with a significantly longer delay in the North Island than in the South. This study identifies potential factors for future research that may influence diagnostic delays in New Zealand.
