Postmenopausal endometriosis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A postmenopausal woman, in her 60s, married with no history of pregnancy, presented to our facility with an abdominal mass of 2 months duration that progressively increased in size. Physical examination revealed a mobile abdominal cystic mass measuring approximately 20×20×10 cm, accompanied by ascites. Transvaginal ultrasonography showed a hypoechoic cystic mass measured >14.6×12.5 x13.5×11.49 cm, with septa and papillary projections, and the Doppler colour score was +2, along with ascites. Based on the IOTA Simple Rules, this mass would be classified as malignant, because it meets the criteria for M2 (ascites) and M4 (irregular multilocular solid tumour ≥100 mm) features. Because malignancy was suspected, a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with a frozen section were performed. The frozen section and histopathological examination resulted in a right endometrioma. Postmenopausal endometriosis is rare, but clinicians should always be aware of its existence as it confers a risk of malignant transformation and recurrence. Comprehensive follow-up after surgery is recommended in such cases.
