Long-term outcomes of catheter-directed sclerotherapy for ovarian endometrioma.

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
purposeAlthough favorable results have been reported on catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) for ovarian endometrioma, a thorough evaluation of its long-term efficacy is lacking. This study evaluates the long-term efficacy and safety of CDS with 99% ethanol for treatment of ovarian endometrioma.
methodsBetween January 2020 and February 2022, data from 33 consecutive patients with symptomatic ovarian endometriomas who underwent CDS were retrospectively evaluated. All patients underwent pre-procedural and 6- and 12-month post-procedural ultrasonography. To assess the effect on ovarian reserve, serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels were measured before and after the procedure. Procedure-related complications were also assessed.
resultsThe mean volume of endometriomas decreased from 80.22 ± 66.43 to 0.73 ± 1.10 mL (
conclusionCDS remained safe and effective in treating ovarian endometrioma at the 1-year follow-up. Ovarian function after CDS was well preserved. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: CDS is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with ovarian endometrioma without compromising ovarian function.
