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

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common disease in women of childbearing age, categorized into ovarian, superficial, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Bladder endometriosis (BE) is a type of DIE with an incidence of approximately 1% among women of childbearing age. Its main symptoms include pelvic discomfort and urinary dysfunction. Importantly, bladder endometriosis and ureteral endometriosis are distinct entities with different clinical manifestations and management approaches. As the condition progresses, it can involve the ureters, leading to hydronephrosis and severe renal function impairment. Currently, diagnosis primarily relies on ultrasound, MRI, and cystoscopy, with surgical treatment showing good efficacy and low recurrence rates. We report a patient with bladder endometriosis to enhance our understanding of this condition.
