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

Background: Scar endometriosis is a rare manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue within a cesarean section scar. It typically manifests as cyclical pain and swelling at the site of the surgical incision and is often subject to misdiagnosis. Case Presentation: This report examines a case involving a 30-year-old Somali woman with a history of multiple childbirths, presenting with a painful nodule at the location of a previous lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) scar. Her symptoms were cyclical, worsening during menstruation. Ultrasonographic evaluation revealed an endometriotic lesion, and histological examination following surgical excision confirmed the diagnosis. The patient had an uneventful recovery post-surgery. Conclusion: It is important for clinicians to contemplate scar endometriosis in women presenting with a painful mass near a surgical scar that fluctuates with the menstrual cycle. Early identification and comprehensive surgical removal are crucial for effective management.
