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

Background: Müllerian anomalies complicated by extrapelvic endometriosis are uncommon, and herniation of Müllerian remnants into the inguinal canal is exceptionally rare. These complex presentations pose significant diagnostic challenges arising from intricate embryological maldevelopment, necessitating multidisciplinary collaboration to optimize both patient safety and fertility preservation. Case Report: We report a case in which a non-communicating rudimentary uterine horn and endometriotic tissue presented as an incarcerated inguinal hernia in a woman with a solitary pelvic kidney. Multimodal imaging (3D ultrasound, CT with 3D reconstruction, and MRI) enabled preoperative mapping and guided a one-stage laparoscopic approach. Postoperative GnRH-agonist therapy was initiated for adjuvant suppression, and longer-term follow-up is ongoing. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of considering Müllerian anomalies and endometriosis in the differential diagnosis of inguinal masses in women with genitourinary malformations. Multidisciplinary integration of gynecological, urological, radiological, and surgical expertise is essential for accurate diagnosis and safe, fertility-sparing management.
