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

Both endometriosis and adenomyosis can impact quality of life. Endometriosis is a chronic, benign, condition characterized by the growth of endometrium outside the uterus, which affects ~10% of women from menarche to menopause, globally. Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological condition, which is defined as the infiltration of ectopic endometrial tissue within the underlying myometrium. It is often diagnosed in perimenopausal women aged 40-50 years, with a prevalence that varies widely (ranging from 1-70%). The aim of the present study was to determine the histological coexistence of gynecological pathology in women with endometriosis, adenomyosis and those with both. In the present retrospective study, data retrieved from the medical records of women that underwent abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral or unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Venizeleio General Hospital and the Third Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) between 2000-2022 were included. Patients were divided into three groups; group 1 included those with endometriosis, group 2 included those with adenomyosis and group 3 included those with both endometriosis and adenomyosis. Cases with inadequate medical records and those lacking histological diagnoses were excluded. The total number of patients included in the present study was 1,692 women; group 1 included 495 (29.2%) patients, group 2 included 1,096 (64.8%) patients and group 3 included 101 (6.0%) patients. The results of the present study revealed that the most common pathology was leiomyomas (43.3%), followed by endometrial and cervical polyps (17.6 and 9.8%, respectively). Benign ovarian (12.2%) and paraovarian cysts (13.7%) were also observed. Compared with groups 1 and 2, leiomyomas were significantly more common in group 3 (67.3%). Endometrial cancer was significantly more common in group 2 (9.3%), compared with group 1 (1.6%) and group 3 (4%). The present study suggested that endometriosis, adenomyosis or the concomitant presence of both may coexist with various benign and malignant gynecological diseases.
