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 prevalent benign gynecological disorder characterized by dysmenorrhea and infertility, significantly impacting women's health and quality of life. Currently, the pathogenesis of EMs remains incompletely elucidated. There are various side effects of drug treatment, while surgical interventions involve a certain degree of tissue trauma. Therefore, novel therapeutic drugs and clinical strategies should be developed. Apoptosis, a programmed cell death pathway, maintains tissue homeostasis, and its dysregulation is linked to various diseases and pathological complexities. Accumulating evidence suggests that abnormal apoptosis is intricately linked to the development and progression of EMs and that targeted promotion of cell apoptosis may contribute to the prevention and treatment of EMs. Natural metabolites, with their biological properties such as multipathway and multitarget effects, exhibit unique advantages in treating EMs, possibly by regulating apoptosis. This paper reviews the relationship between apoptosis and EMs. It systematically summarizes the latest progress of natural metabolites in treating EMS by regulating apoptosis, offering an innovative strategy for treating EMs.
