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

backgroundEndometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases that can lead to infertility. The aim of this quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was to analyze the prevalence and the annual nationwide health insurance treatment cost of endometriosis in Hungary in 2010 and 2019.

methodsThe data used in this study were sourced from publicly funded, national, real-world datasets administered by the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIFA). The total number of cases of endometriosis in the Hungarian population was determined by ICD codes and all types of care. The total prevalence, age-specific prevalence, and annual health insurance expenditure by age group were evaluated.

resultsThe highest numbers of patients and prevalence (2010: 101.9/100,000 women; 2019: 197.3/100,000 women) were found in outpatient care. Endometriosis, regardless of its type, mainly affects patients in the 30-39-year age group (number of patients-2010: 6852; 2019: 11,821). The NHIFA spent a total of EUR 1,639,612 on endometriosis treatment in 2010 and EUR 1,905,476 in 2019. The average annual health insurance expenditure per capita was EUR 574 in 2010 and EUR 426 in 2019. There was a significant correlation between length of stay and mean age of patients in both years (2010 r = 0.856,

conclusionsThe number endometriosis cases is increasing. Early diagnosis and targeted treatment would reduce endometriosis symptoms and therefore improve patients' quality of life and reduce health insurance costs. This would be helped by the establishment of endometriosis centers.
