Dynamics of Conventional Metabolic Indices in Relation to Endometriosis Severity: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 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
Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between the dynamics of routine metabolic markers and endometriosis severity. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed with endometriosis at Zhongshan Hospital, Xiamen, affiliated with Fudan University. The collected data encompassed demographic details and biochemical indicators related to lipid, hepatobiliary, renal metabolism, and electrolyte balance. Independent influencing factors were screened by univariate logistic regression and statistically significant variables were included in the model for adjustment. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were also plotted to analyze the nonlinear relationship between factors and endometriosis severity. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to validate the discriminative ability of independent influencing factors. Results: Ninety-four patients were enrolled in the study, including 32 at stage IV as classified by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) staging. Univariate analysis identified fasting blood glucose (FBG), total protein, direct bilirubin, total bilirubin (TBil) and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT) as significant metabolic indicators. Additionally, carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and human epididymal protein 4 (HE4) emerged as significant covariates. The RCS analysis revealed a nonlinear association between most metabolic indicators and outcome measures. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the alanine transaminase (ALT) was above 0.6. Conclusion: ALT had a negative correlation with the severity of endometriosis and was an independent influencing factor with statistical significance. This finding could offer clinicians non-invasive biomarkers for early detection and precise monitoring of disease progression.
