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 is a multifocal disease of pelvis affecting mostly reproductive age women. It can involve genital and extra genital organs. The gastrointestinal tract including rectum and sigmoid colon is the most affected extragenital site. Bowel involvement can change the surgery from simple shaving to resection based on depth of invasion and disease distribution. Benefit of ultrasound for bowel endometriosis, especially for rectum and rectosigmoid colon have been reported, however MRI directed ultrasound, particularly for the lesions which demonstrate indeterminate depth of wall invasion and multifocal bowel involvement hasn't been reported. Here we present a case of rectosigmoid endometriosis evaluated with preoperative MRI directed ultrasound, which provided better visualization of muscularis propria invasion of the bowel and multifocal lesions.
