Case Report: Two clinical cases of severe deep infiltrating endometriosis with infertility-transplantation first or surgery first? Natural cycle or artificial cycle?
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe condition frequently linked to infertility, yet the optimal integration of surgery and assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains controversial. This study reports two cases of infertility secondary to severe rectal DIE that achieved live births through a tailored, sequential strategy. The management paradigm consisted of three phases: (1) fertility preservation via embryo cryopreservation, (2) definitive laparoscopic surgical resection, and (3) a natural-cycle frozen embryo transfer (NC-FET). Postoperatively, both patients demonstrated a significant decline in CA125 levels and substantial clinical improvement. The first case involved a 27-year-old with primary infertility, while the second, more complex case involved a 31-year-old with ureteral DIE and hydronephrosis, requiring multidisciplinary surgery. These cases illustrate that an integrated approach, which strategically combines preoperative fertility preservation, radical surgery to rectify pelvic anatomy, and a physiological, hormone-free embryo transfer, can optimize the likelihood of achieving pregnancy in patients with symptomatic infertility due to severe DIE.
