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

Endometriosis impacts millions of women globally, making precise assessment essential for effective surgical planning and clinical management. Despite advances in transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis and staging, many radiologists still overlook the evaluation of lateral pelvic anatomical structures. Understanding the lateral compartment's involvement is vital for accurate disease staging and achieving optimal surgical outcomes. This pictorial review provides a thorough examination of the lateral pelvic compartment anatomy using TVUS and MRI, complemented by surgical correlations. It offers detailed discussions on pelvic ligaments, parametrium, and adjacent structures, such as nerves, vessels, and ureters. The review provides practical guidance for identifying critical anatomical structures in imaging exams and emphasizes the importance of standardized terminology. Enhancing imaging precision and diagnostic accuracy for lateral compartment endometriosis is crucial for optimal surgical planning and improved patient outcomes.
