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

Purpose: Ovarian endometriosis, a prevalent condition in reproductive-age women, causes dysmenorrhea and infertility, significantly impairing quality of life. To date, there is no systematic description of ovarian endometriosis in the literature. This study aimed to explore the development of ovarian endometriosis via bibliometric analysis and to identify global trends and frontiers. Methods: We systematically reviewed all pertinent studies up to 2023 from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) were downloaded. We examined the data via the Bibliometrix program in R (version 4.3.2), CiteSpace software, and the Online Analysis Platform of Literature Metrology (http://biblimetric.com). Results: A total of 409 eligible records on ovarian endometriosis were identified and included in the analysis. The most productive journal was FERTILITY AND STERILITY. Endometriosis was the most cited reference. The keywords were divided into seven clusters, including atypical endometriosis, laparoscopic cystectomy, angiogenesis, in situ hybridization, estrogen and progesterone receptor, microarray analysis, and treatment. As indicated by the analysis of trending topics, infertility has become a new research hotspot. Conclusion: In our study, the main directions of ovarian endometriosis include pathogenesis and cancerization. In addition, infertility has received growing attention in recent years. A comprehensive analysis of the publications in this field could help us shape the direction of further research and provide new points of view for solutions to prominent women's health problems.
