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 chronic progressive disease spectrum characterized by the presence of tissue resembling functioning endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. These ectopic implants have a propensity to bleed, initiating an inflammatory response. One of the most severe forms is deep rectovaginal endometriosis, which is the most challenging entity to treat. The diagnostic evaluation of these patients requires a transvaginal ultrasound and an MRI pelvis. Medical management may reduce the symptom severity but does not cure the disease. These patients often need surgical excision of the endometriosis to manage symptoms. We aim to describe the approach, principles, and detailed techniques of surgical removal of deep endometriosis. Complete excision of the deep rectovaginal endometriosis was achieved with symptomatic relief. This case illustrates our presurgical evaluation and operative techniques in detail, which are crucial in the optimal removal of endometriosis.
