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

backgroundEndometriosis and its association with adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes have recently drawn attention, pointing to increased risks of repeated caesarean sections, the occurrence of preterm births, and stillbirths. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study included 25 pregnant women diagnosed with endometriosis and 25 pregnant women without endometriosis (control group). Maternal, fetal, and neonatal data were collected and compared between the endometriosis group and the control group concerning various maternal and neonatal parameters.

resultsPatients with endometriosis were slightly older, primipara (p = 0.048), and conceived using assisted reproductive technology (< 0.001**) than the control group. There were significant differences in blood loss between the endometriosis and control groups (p = 0.01). There are significant differences between both groups regarding placenta previa and blood loss in either vaginal delivery or caesarean section, post-partum hemorrhage.

conclusionsSevere deep infiltrating pelvis or ovarian endometriosis is considered a risk factor for the occurrence of maternal complications such as placenta previa, as well as fetal and perinatal complications. Additionally, a past history of pre-pregnancy surgical management of endometriosis was associated with a high risk of the occurrence of placenta previa.
