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
backgroundEndometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory and immunological disease, with chronic pain being its predominant clinical manifestation. This condition significantly impairs quality of life and is frequently associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms, further exacerbating social and occupational dysfunction in affected women. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between chronic pain in patients with endometriosis and the severity of depressive symptoms.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 60 women of reproductive age treated at the Tomaszewski Medical Center in Białystok between 2023 and 2024. Pain intensity was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the McGill Pain Questionnaire, while depressive symptoms were assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
resultsStatistical analyses included the Student
conclusions(1) Pain in endometriosis is chronic and cyclic in nature. (2) Depressive symptoms are common but may be masked by nonspecific somatic complaints. (3) Pain intensity strongly correlates with the severity of depressive disorders, particularly during menstruation. (4) The coexistence of depression significantly impairs patient functioning. (5) Effective management of endometriosis should integrate gynecological treatment with psychological support and psychiatric care when necessary.
