High prevalence of endometriosis in women with chronic pelvic pain and confirmed pelvic varicosities: a multiparametric MRI study.

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
objectiveChronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) presents significant diagnostic challenges, often involving multiple pathologies, including endometriosis and pelvic venous disorders. This study examined the prevalence of endometriosis among women with confirmed pelvic varicosities.
methodsThe authors performed a retrospective analysis of 52 women with CPP and pelvic varicosities who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance venography between January 2019 and December 2023. All images were reviewed by a single experienced radiologist, blinded to clinical data and vascular findings, to identify radiological signs of endometriosis.
resultsAmong the 52 women, 32 exhibited radiological findings consistent with endometriosis, corresponding to a prevalence of 61.5% (95% CI: 47.0%-74.5%).
conclusionThis study demonstrates a high prevalence of endometriosis among women with pelvic varicosities. Multiparametric MRI proved effective as a non-invasive diagnostic modality capable of identifying both vascular and gynecologic abnormalities in a single session, supporting integrated assessment approaches for women with CPP. Limitations include the retrospective design and the lack of histological confirmation of endometriosis.
