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

This study examined the illness perceptions held by individuals living with endometriosis, and their associations with psychological distress and chronic pain, over time. At baseline, 408 participants provided demographic and clinical information and completed measures of illness perceptions, anxiety and depression, and pain. One-year later, 283 of these participants completed the same measures again. Results showed that participants held largely negative perceptions of their endometriosis, perceiving adverse consequences, enduring timeline, and negative emotional representations of their condition. Additionally, participants felt a lack of personal control over the condition. Multiple regression analyses (controlling for demographics, clinical factors, and baseline levels of the outcome variables) showed that illness perceptions do not predict anxiety and depression at 12-month follow-up. However, the perception of illness timeline did significantly predict pain intensity at follow-up.
