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
backgroundEndometriosis is a prevalent gynecological condition that primarily affects women of reproductive age. When the gastrointestinal system is involved, it can lead to bowel dysfunction and pose diagnostic challenges.
aimsTo present a rare case of gastrointestinal endometriosis with concurrent uterine adenosarcoma, highlighting the diagnostic complexities and therapeutic considerations.
methodsA 42-year-old female presented with refractory bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and significant unintentional weight loss for several months. Initial investigations, including stool studies and inflammatory markers, ruled out infectious and common inflammatory causes. Endoscopic evaluation revealed multiple polypoid lesions, prompting further imaging. Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) identified a uterine mass with suspected extrauterine involvement and a rectal nodule, raising concerns for malignancy or extensive gastrointestinal endometriosis. The patient underwent surgical management, including total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and lower anterior resection.
resultsHistopathological analysis confirmed the coexistence of uterine adenosarcoma and rectal endometriosis. The patient fully recovered after surgery without complications. At her 12-month follow-up, she remained asymptomatic, with no evidence of recurrence or residual disease.
conclusionsThis case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of gastrointestinal endometriosis, particularly in the presence of coexisting malignancy. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for early recognition and prompt intervention, which are crucial for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
