Diaphragmatic endometriosis associated with pelvic endometriosis: a case report.
Article in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThoracic endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in or around lungs and on the diaphragm and is frequently associated with pelvic endometriosis. CASE PRESENTATION: In this case report, a 22-year-old Caucasian patient reported right hypochondrium pain without other associated symptoms and was diagnosed with cholelithiasis. She underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and an abdominal cavity examination revealed a diaphragmatic endometriotic nodule and endometriosis foci in the right diaphragm, pelvic ligaments, and left adnexal area. During the procedure, excision of the diaphragmatic endometriotic nodule and cauterization of the larger endometriosis foci in the diaphragm were also performed. After surgery, hormone therapy was administered as complementary treatment, which included a depot gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist for 5 months, followed by drospirenone 4 mg/day for 3 months. At the follow-up visit, the patient reported an improvement in right hypochondrium pain after surgery and complete remission after clinical treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed before and after 6 months following the initiation of hormone therapy revealed a regression of diaphragmatic and pelvic endometriosis foci.
conclusionIn our case, the combination of surgical treatment and hormone therapy was effective for managing pelvic and diaphragmatic endometriosis.
