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

Umbilical endometriosis or Villar's nodule is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue within the umbilicus and represent 0.5%-1% cases of endometriosis ectopia. It is classified as primary or secondary based on the surgical history. The important symptoms that characterize primary umbilical endometriosis were cyclical pain and a palpable mass that may be associated with bleeding. These features have temporal association with catamenia. Presented is a 30 year old woman with clinical features that suggested primary umbilical endometriosis in the past 5 years. It was confirmed by histology and coexisted with uterine fibroid. In the absence of previous surgery, primary umbilical endometriosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis in females of reproductive age with umbilical pain and nodule related to catamenia. Surgery is the treatment of choice and this should be individualized as some lesions can be managed by local excision with satisfactory outcome regarding the cessation of the presenting symptoms with good cosmetic outcome.
