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

backgroundEndometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease that affects various aspects of the women's lives, so considering its impacts and improving health-promoting lifestyle is important. The present study aimed to determine the association between health-promoting lifestyle and endometriosis impacts on women lives.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 women with endometriosis in the endometriosis clinic of Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad-Iran. The data was collected using the HPLP-II (health-promoting lifestyle) and EIQ tools (endometriosis impact questionnaire), as well as socio-demographic and obstetrics characteristics questionnaires. Data was analyzed in SPSS 21 software. Spearman's test was used to investigate the correlation between health-promoting behaviors and the impacts of endometriosis on women's lives.

resultsIn the total of three recall periods of EIQ, there was a negative significant correlation between the overall lifestyle score of HPLP and the physical impact of endometriosis disease (r=-0.23; P < 0.001), the psychological impact (r=-0.29; P < 0.001), social impact (r=-0.30; P < 0.001), as well as education dimensions of EIQ (r=-0.52; P = 0.016).

conclusionsConsidering the negative significant correlation between the health-promoting lifestyle and the physical, psychological, social, as well as education impacts of endometriosis, adopting a healthy lifestyle for women with endometriosis seems useful and necessary. In future studies, it is recommended to provide information for writing a program with a clear and concise explanation for these women to improve affected women's lives.
