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
introductionEndometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus is one of the major causes of chronic pelvic pain in women which jeopardize the daily life. This study aims to describe the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of women with endometriosis in Bangladesh.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at Chattogram Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh, from January to December 2023 including women aged 16-55 years who were clinically diagnosed with endometriosis. Data on socio-demographics, menstrual history, and clinical presentations were collected through interviews and physical examinations. Pain severity was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS).
resultsA total of 396 women with endometriosis were included, with a mean age of 29.9 ± 8.1 (SD) years. Dysmenorrhea (92.6%) was the predominant clinical presentation, followed by non-menstrual pelvic pain (64.5%) and dyspareunia (50%). Pain severity in majority of the patients was moderate, with a mean VAS score of 5.1 (SD 1.9). Other symptoms included polyuria (40.9%), dysuria (26.5%), diarrhea (14%), and constipation (7.5%). Deeply infiltrative endometriosis was identified in 16.4% of participants.
conclusionsIn conclusion, our study suggests that endometriosis patients in Bangladesh often present with typical symptoms, experiencing moderate pelvic pain, thus offering valuable real-world clinical insights into the disease's epidemiology and characteristics.
