Association of urinary tract endometriosis with physical and mental health: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundUrinary tract endometriosis (UTE) is a special type of endometriosis affecting the urinary system, yet the physical and mental health of UTE patients remain unexplored.
methodsWe enrolled 92 women with UTE and another 234 with deep infiltrating endometriosis from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Personal information was collected via paper questionnaires. Health-related quality of life, including physical and mental health, was measured by physical component summary scale (PCS) and mental component summary scale (MCS) of the 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing physical and mental health.
resultsPatients in the UTE group had a higher creatinine level and detection rate of urinary leukocyte, erythrocyte and protein. The PCS score was lower in the UTE group, while the MCS was similar between two groups. Multiple linear regression analysis shown that patients using painkillers had lower PCS scores, while those aware of urologic abnormalities before surgery or with a history of more than two miscarriages had lower MCS scores.
conclusionsOur study explores the quality of life in UTE patients and identifies influencing factors. Individualized and targeted care should be added to clinical practice to prevent negative outcomes for UTE patients.
