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

Endometriosis is a systemic inflammatory disease known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The inducible form of cyclooxygenase (COX), COX-2, is an inflammatory enzyme upregulated in endometriosis (Endo) with COX metabolites having potent effects on platelet aggregation and neurovascular control. The purpose of this study was to determine if COX activity modulates mechanisms of platelet aggregation and neurovascular control in patients with endometriosis. We hypothesized that women with endometriosis (Endo) would demonstrate augmented platelet aggregation and anodal current-induced vasodilation (a method of inducing COX-mediated vasodilation) compared with similarly aged healthy control women (HC) and that this difference would be mediated, at least in part, by COX activity. In a randomized, placebo-controlled design, 12 Endo and 9 HC participants underwent an anodal current-induced vasodilation protocol with following placebo or aspirin (650 mg). Laser Doppler flowmetry continuously recorded red blood cell flux and cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC = flux/mean arterial pressure) was quantified. A blood sample was taken for impedance aggregometry analysis and quantification of the COX metabolite thromboxane in plasma with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The Endo group demonstrated attenuated increases in CVC compared with HC (
