First Presentation of Endometriosis: A Case of Acute Large Bowel Obstruction.

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
The first presentation of endometriosis as acute large bowel obstruction is rare. We present the case of a woman in her 40s with no significant past medical history presenting with acute bowel obstruction. CT imaging revealed an obstructing mass in the sigmoid colon with associated lymphadenopathy, favoured to be a malignant process. She underwent an emergency laparoscopic to open Hartmann's procedure, where the sigmoid mass was seen causing proximal colonic distention and caecal seromuscular tears. Her case was discussed at the colorectal multidisciplinary team meeting, where pathology revealed a surprising diagnosis of endometriosis; no primary mucosal lesion was identified. This case highlights endometriosis as an important differential cause of acute bowel obstruction, even in patients with no prior history of endometriosis.
