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

objectiveTo describe a mesentery-preserving, nerve-sparing laparoscopic technique for rectal endometriosis.

designRetrospective cohort study.

settingSingle centre. POPULATION OR SAMPLE: Women requiring bowel resection for rectal endometriosis.

methodsFull-thickness anterior lesion excision and mesorectum-preserving limited posterior resection with hand-sewn anastomosis, compared with conventional stapled resection.

main outcome measuresAnastomotic integrity and 12-month functional outcomes.

resultsThe technique safely preserves neurovascular structures. Initial proof-of-concept data confirm surgical feasibility.

conclusionsThis approach is feasible and hypothesis-generating, supporting future prospective trials.
