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 is a complex condition that is often underdiagnosed, leaving rare but serious risks such as malignant transformation overlooked in many cases. Malignant transformation, especially in extra-gynaecological sites, poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We present a case of an endometriosis-associated intestinal tumour diagnosed in a patient with exposure to oestrogen-only hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on a background of total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy performed three decades before her presentation. This case highlights the potential for malignant transformation of residual endometriotic tissue in extra-gynaecological sites, even decades following definitive surgical management, particularly in the presence of important risk factors such as obesity and prior oestrogen-only HRT.
