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

Purpose: Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic gynecological disorder with unclear pathogenesis. While the vaginal and gut microbiomes are known to influence EMS, few studies have analyzed both microbiomes integrally. This study aims to characterize the vaginal and gut microbiome profiles in EMS patients and evaluate their diagnostic potential. Patients and Methods: We conducted metagenomic sequencing on 22 paired vaginal and fecal samples from EMS patients and controls. Microbial composition, diversity, and metabolic pathways were analyzed. Machine learning models were employed to assess the predictive performance of microbiome features in EMS diagnosis. Results: EMS patients exhibited pronounced shifts in the vaginal microbiome, characterized by reduced Conclusion: This study underscores the pivotal role of the gut microbiota in EMS and elucidates the complex interplay between microbial dysbiosis and disease pathogenesis. Our findings indicate that gut microbiome signatures may serve as superior diagnostic biomarkers for EMS, thereby paving the way for microbiome-based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
