Umbilical Endometriosis With Appendiceal Involvement: A Case Report.
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
Endometriosis is a common disease that affects women worldwide. While it is most commonly located in the pelvis, lesions may occur in other areas of the body. Concurrent umbilical and appendiceal endometriosis is rare. We present a case of umbilical endometriosis with appendiceal involvement in a 29-year-old female. The patient presented with a periumbilical mass that bled during her menstrual cycle. She also reported lower quadrant pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and dyspareunia. Imaging revealed an umbilical hernia and a lesion abutting the suspensory ligament of the right ovary. Cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) levels were elevated. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed stage IV endometriosis with severe adhesions to the uterus, posterior cul-de-sac, descending and sigmoid colon, and bladder. An incidental appendiceal mass was noted, resulting in an appendectomy. The periumbilical mass was removed. Pathology revealed umbilical and appendiceal endometriosis. There were no complications in the postoperative period. The diverse manifestations of endometriosis emphasize the importance of considering extrapelvic involvement, especially in patients with atypical dermatological symptoms. Early recognition and subsequent laparoscopy for both the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis are essential for successful patient management.
