Concurrent Inguinal Endometriosis and Catamenial Pneumothorax: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Endometriosis, while prevalent, can manifest in extra-pelvic locations with varying degrees of rarity, but reports of multiple extra-pelvic sites within a patient are extremely rare. We report a unique case of a 45-year-old female with concurrent inguinal endometriosis and catamenial pneumothorax. The patient experienced recurrent menstruation-associated right chest pain and subsequently developed right inguinal pain. A laparoscopic-assisted en bloc resection of the round ligament and associated inguinal mass was performed. Intraoperative findings were consistent with pelvic endometriosis. Hormonal therapy was not initiated due to the patient desiring pregnancy, but despite assisted reproductive technology, pregnancy was unsuccessful. Subsequent investigation following the onset of right chest pain and dyspnea revealed right pneumothorax. Thoracoscopic intervention identified diaphragmatic defects suggestive of endometriosis. Resection of the lung parenchyma with an air leak, along with suture repair of a diaphragmatic defect, was performed. Postoperatively, the pneumothorax resolved. Post-surgical hormonal therapy with dienogest resulted in the resolution of both conditions. This case underscores the potential for diverse presentations of extra-pelvic endometriosis and highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to its management.
