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 multifaceted gynecological disorder defined by endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is mainly localized in the pelvis and creates a local inflammatory environment responsible for its manifestations and complications. In 30-50% of cases, endometriosis is associated with infertility. In 17-44% of cases, the ovaries are affected in the form of ovarian endometriomas (OEs). The symptoms of OEs are not very pronounced. The development is slow. Diagnosis is difficult because OEs resemble cystic ovarian pathology, which is so diverse. The actual diagnosis is possible through direct visualization or laparoscopy. Surgical treatment by cystectomy is common for OEs. Recently, other therapeutic modalities have emerged that have less impact on ovarian reserves and pregnancy rates. In this context, the review attempts to shed light on the best diagnostic and treatment methods for an insidious pathology with a major impact on fertility.
