Endometriosis-The scapegoat for pelvic pain?
Review in Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Cyclic and noncyclic chronic pelvic pain (CPP) represent a major problem for both affected patients and healthcare providers due to its effects on physical and mental health. In times of social media and digitalization, awareness of endometriosis as a leading cause of CPP is increasing. However, a close look at the current literature does not support endometriosis as the predominant and most common cause of pelvic pain syndromes and associated morbidities. Consequently, other or additional factors may be overlooked, complex pain mechanisms simplified, and symptoms misunderstood, resulting in less optimal treatment concepts. This commentary underlines the necessity to evaluate patients with CPP and suspected endometriosis in a multifactorial and holistic context to provide a better framework of patient care.
