Clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of 72 cases of intestinal and urinary tract deep infiltrating endometriosis.

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
The diagnosis and treatment of intestinal and urinary tract deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) remain challenging due to its multiple lesions and nonspecific symptoms and signs. This study retrospectively analyzed 72 cases of intestinal and urinary tract DIE, including the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes. Among these cases, 11 presented without clinical symptoms, while 61 exhibited obvious clinical symptoms, primarily dysmenorrhea (58.3%, 42 cases) and chronic pelvic pain (50.0%, 36 cases), followed by anal bulge (44.4%, 32 cases), dyspareunia (31.9%, 23 cases), and constipation (16.7%, 12 cases). In terms of diagnosis, combining carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) testing with MRI enhanced the detection rate of DIE in the intestine and urinary tract. High-definition laparoscopic surgery was the primary treatment approach in these cases, revealing that intestinal and urinary tract DIE often coexist with ovarian endometriotic cysts, uterosacral ligament involvement, and, less frequently, rectovaginal septum and vaginal lesions. Postoperative follow-ups demonstrated significant symptom relief. In conclusion, intestinal and urinary tract DIE frequently involve multiple sites, and CA125 combined with MRI is an effective diagnostic tool. High-definition laparoscopic surgery offers a definitive treatment for intestinal and urinary tract DIE.
