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

Objective: To assess the effect of dienogest treatment on endometrioma (OMA) size, serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and associated pain over a 12-month follow-up period. Material and Methods: A longitudinal cohort study of 104 patients with OMA who were treated with dienogest, between January 2017 and January 2020. Of the included patients, each had a 12-month follow-up period with transvaginal or pelvic ultrasound and measurement of serum AMH concentration at the sixth and twelfth months of follow-up. The alteration in OMA size in the sixth and twelfth months of treatment was the primary outcome measure and the alteration in AMH concentration over the same period was the secondary outcome measure. The only exclusion criterion was having surgical intervention for OMA during the follow-up period (n=44). In patients with bilateral OMA (n=21), the change in size of the largest OMA was considered in the analysis. Results: A total of 60 patients with a mean ± standard deviation (SD) age of 31.5±8.0 years were included. The mean ± SD OMA size on the day the dienogest was started was 46.3±17.4 mm and the mean AMH level was 3.6±2.4 ng/mL. After six months, the mean OMA size had decreased to 38.6±14.0 mm, with a median difference of 7.8 mm [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.0 to 12.6; p=0.003]. The mean AMH level was 3.3±2.7 ng/mL at 6 months follow-up (95% CI: -0.2 to 0.8; p=0.23) and the average difference was 0.3 ng/mL. At the 12 Conclusion: At the sixth and twelfth months of dienogest treatment a significant decrease in OMA size and reported pain scores were observed, whereas the AMH concentrations did not change significantly.
