A Case Report of Extrapelvic Endometriosis: Surgeon's Perspective and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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, while commonly managed by gynecologists, is rarely encountered by general surgeons and is often identified incidentally or upon histopathological examination. This condition can manifest in both pelvic and extrapelvic sites, with extrapelvic endometriosis most frequently observed in the gastrointestinal tract and abdominal wall. Cesarean scar endometriosis (CSE) is the most prevalent form of abdominal wall endometriosis. Cyclical symptoms linked to menstruation occur in around half of patients and should raise suspicion in cases presenting with scar-related or subcutaneous swellings. This report presents two cases of extrapelvic endometriosis: one involving appendiceal endometriosis, which was unexpectedly identified as appendicitis, and another with CSE, diagnosed after surgical excision of a painful swelling in the cesarean section scar. The discussion focuses on the diagnosis and management of CSE and appendiceal endometriosis.
