Umbilical Endometriosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. When this tissue appears in regions beyond the reproductive organs, it is referred to as extragenital endometriosis. One rare form of this condition is primary umbilical endometriosis, where ectopic endometrial tissue is found in the umbilicus. Common symptoms include an umbilical mass and cyclical discharge related to menstruation. However, diagnosis is often delayed due to its rarity. The exact cause of this condition remains unclear. While histological examination is considered the gold standard for diagnosis, imaging techniques can also play a significant role. We present a case of extragenital endometriosis of the umbilicus. The patient experienced cyclical pain and swelling in the umbilicus. A CT scan revealed a nodule in the umbilicus with no accompanying intra-abdominal pathology. Complete excision of the umbilicus confirmed the diagnosis of an umbilical endometrioma. Our goal is to highlight the importance of considering umbilical endometriosis in the differential diagnosis of abdominal or umbilical pain, especially in women of reproductive age, to improve patient outcomes.
