Clinical value of preoperative serum calcium level in predicting deep infiltrative endometriosis among ovarian endometrioma.
Observational study in Annals of medicine, 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
objectiveTo evaluate preoperative serum calcium levels and their association with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in ovarian endometrioma.
designA retrospective, observational cohort study.
participantsA total of 2,557 women who underwent surgery for benign ovarian tumors were initially enrolled. Of these, 987 were pathologically confirmed to have endometriosis, while the remaining 1570 did not.
resultEndometriosis (EM) group had significantly lower albumin-adjusted calcium levels than the non-EMs group (
conclusionAlbumin-adjusted calcium level was lower in patients diagnosed with EM compared to those with other benign ovarian tumors. The combined use of albumin-adjusted calcium and CA125 may potentially offer enhanced diagnostic utility for EM, though further validation is required. Moreover, a lower serum level of albumin-adjusted calcium was associated with the presence of DIE among EM patients.
