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

introductionEndometriosis is a common benign condition affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age. An unusual site of endometriosis is the canal of Nuck, which is a physiologically obliterated space in women spanning the area from the deep inguinal ring to the labia majora. CASE PRESENTATION: A 37-year-old woman, with a past medical history of several in vitro fertilization attempts, presented with a right-sided painful inguinal mass. She was subsequently offered surgical exploration and excision of the lesion, which revealed the presence of endometrial glands and stroma. DISCUSSION: Despite being a relatively common and benign pelvic condition, endometriosis can rarely manifest in the inguinal region, within the canal of Nuck. The treating physician should be cognizant of Nuck canal endometriosis, especially in young female patients presenting with an irreducible mass in the inguinal region and associated cyclic pain or infertility.

conclusionWhen clinically and radiologically suspected, surgical excision is indicated to establish the diagnosis, provide symptomatic relief and guide further decision making.
