The Hidden Danger in Endometriosis: Bilateral Pelvic Abscesses Following Fertility Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case report underscores the crucial role of imaging and radiology in the timely diagnosis of a rare but serious complication associated with assisted reproductive technology (ART). A 34-year-old woman with a long-standing history of endometriosis and secondary infertility developed bilateral tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOAs) following in vitro fertilization (IVF). Her presentation included nonspecific gastrointestinal and pelvic symptoms that delayed diagnosis. However, a multimodal imaging approach, combining transvaginal ultrasound, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), proved critical in identifying a superimposed infection on chronic adnexal disease. Subsequent surgical exploration confirmed the diagnosis of TOA and hematopyosalpinx. This case illustrates the diagnostic complexity of differentiating infectious processes from endometriotic flare-ups in the post-ART setting and highlights the indispensable role of early and advanced imaging in guiding clinical management, preventing sepsis, and preserving fertility.
