Endometriosis leading to frequent emergency department visits-women's experiences and perspectives.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundEndometriosis is a common condition affecting 1-10% of all women. The condition is highly associated with pain. Most women with endometriosis are treated as elective outpatients, but these patients sometimes need to visit the emergency department. The aim of this study was to describe experiences and expectations related to repeated gynaecological emergency (GED) visits among women with endometriosis.
methodThis qualitative study with semi structured interviews were conducted with ten patients diagnosed with endometriosis who visited the GED at a tertiary university hospital four or more times within a 12-month period. Data were analysed by thematic content analysis.
resultTwo main themes was identified which embodied the women's overall experience, grouped into: "Living with pain" and "Patients´ needs when seeking GED", with six underlying themes. Several women described their visit to the GED as a "lottery", as they never knew what kind of treatment they would receive. Being listened to was most important for the women. Individualized care plans did not exist for most of the women in this study, although they repeatedly needed to visit the GED.
