Association Between Age, Race, Ethnicity, and Body Mass Index and Time to Endometriosis Diagnosis.

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 assess the associations of time to endometriosis diagnosis after presentation for pelvic pain between patients of different ages, races, ethnicities, and body mass index (BMI) ranges.
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted with the U.S. Collaborative Network on the TriNetX research network of health care organizations using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes. Race, ethnicity, and BMI cohorts consisted of 18- to 44-year-old female patients with diagnoses of endometriosis (ICD-10 N80) and pelvic-perineal pain (ICD-10 R10.2). Age cohorts consisted of female patients aged 18-30 years or 31-44 years, with the same two diagnoses. The BMI cohorts were categorized as lower than 19.9 (ICD-10 Z68.1), 20-29 (ICD-10 Z68.2), and higher than 30 (ICD-10 Z68.3, Z68.4). Patients were matched for race, ethnicity, and age at pelvic pain diagnosis. We assessed time to endometriosis diagnosis after an initial diagnosis of pelvic and perineal pain using Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test with a value of
resultsFor patients aged 18-30 years (n=13,662), the median time to endometriosis diagnosis was 0.49 years; for patients aged 31-44 years (n=13,662), the median time to diagnosis was 3.10 years (χ
conclusionDisparities exist in the time to endometriosis diagnosis after pelvic and perineal pain diagnosis. Obesity, older age, Black race, and Hispanic ethnicity are associated with longer times from a pelvic pain diagnosis to an endometriosis diagnosis.
