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

Background: The treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis requires a complex, multidisciplinary approach. Some centres have established multidisciplinary teams (MDT) and regular meetings. There are currently no international data or recommendations. Objectives: To examine existing MDT meetings and define consensus recommendations to support implementation and conduct. Materials and Methods: Online questionnaires were sent through the European Endometriosis League (EEL) based on a Delphi protocol. After a literature review and assessment of existing MDT meetings, essential aspects for consensus statements were identified. The consensus statements were evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale with the possibility to modify them. Results were analysed between rounds and reported to the respondents. Consensus, defined as ≥70% agreement, concluded the Delphi process when achieved in the majority of statements. Main outcome measures: Prevalence and type of existing MDT meetings and recommendations. Results: In round 1, 69 respondents participated, with 49.3% (34) having an MDT meeting at their institutions, of which 97% are multidisciplinary. 50 % meet once a month and 64.7% indicated that less than 25% of their patients are discussed. Throughout the three rounds, 47 respondents from 21 countries participated. During the process, 82 statements were defined, with an agreement of 92.7% on the statements. Conclusions: This study assessed existing MDT meetings for endometriosis and adenomyosis and developed recommendations for their implementation and conduct. The consensus group supports the strengths of MDT meetings, highlighting their role in offering guideline-based, multidisciplinary, and personalised care. What is new?: This study presents the first international data and recommendations on MDT meetings for endometriosis and adenomyosis.
