Infertility management in patients with bowel endometriosis: the current landscape and the promise of randomised trials
Article in Facts, views & vision in ObGyn, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 management of infertility in women with bowel endometriosis remains a significant clinical challenge. The two primary therapeutic approaches include first-line medically assisted reproduction (MAR) and primary bowel surgery, with or without subsequent fertility treatments. While surgery can significantly improve fertility outcomes, the success of these interventions is influenced by several factors, and MAR may still be necessary for certain patients, especially those over 35 years or with complex disease patterns. In this narrative review, we assessed the outcomes of the main therapeutic strategies commonly offered to patients with bowel endometriosis-associated infertility and discussed the challenges inherent in evaluating reproductive outcomes in women with colorectal endometriosis.
