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: Ovarian endometrioma is a common form of endometriosis associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and diminished ovarian reserve. Although anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is widely used to evaluate ovarian reserve, it does not reflect structural ovarian changes. To introduce and assess the Ovary to Endometrioma Volume Index (OEVI), calculated from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as noninvasive marker of ovarian reserve in women with endometrioma. Methods: Fifty women of reproductive age with ovarian endometrioma were included. Patients with menopause, primary ovarian failure, or prior endometrioma surgery were excluded. Serum AMH, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and cancer antigen 125 (Ca-125) were measured. Ovarian and endometrioma volumes were quantified on pelvic MRI, and OEVI was calculated as total ovarian volume divided by total endometrioma volume. Spearman correlation and multivariable regression analyses were performed. Results: OEVI showed a positive correlation with AMH ( Conclusion: OEVI demonstrates significant associations with established hormonal markers and may represent a promising structural adjunct in ovarian reserve assessment. Its association with AMH and inverse relationship with gonadotropins suggest that OEVI reflects both structural and functional ovarian capacity and may support individualized clinical management and fertility counseling.
