1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Thoracic endometriosis syndrome is a rare form of endometriosis in which endometrial tissue is thought to migrate to the lungs and, with the onset of menstruation, the ectopic foci bleed, causing a range of pulmonary manifestations. In this paper we have collected the clinical data of two patients with thoracic endometriosis syndrome, both of whom presented with haemoptysis as the first symptom and had a history of endometriosis. After 6 courses of treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues followed by maintenance treatment with dienogest, the patients' haemoptysis symptoms were relieved, the CT lesions in the lungs were significantly resorbed compared with the previous ones, and no recurrence was observed at long-term follow-up.
