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

Purpose: This case-control study investigated whether ovarian endometriosis is associated with altered estrogen metabolism and gut or urogenital microbiota by analyzing enzyme activity, bacterial composition, and variations of estrogen metabolites in fecal, vaginal, and urinary samples. Methods: Thirty-eight reproductive-aged women were enrolled, including 24 with pathologically confirmed ovarian endometriosis and 14 controls. Stool, urine, and vaginal samples were collected preoperatively. Gut β-glucuronidase and β-glucosidase activities were measured, estrogen and 14 metabolites were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and gut and vaginal microbiota were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Microbial composition, diversity, and abundance were compared between groups. Results: Gut β-glucuronidase activity and overall microbial diversity were comparable between groups; however, the control group showed a higher prevalence of the genus Conclusions: Although overt dysbiosis was not observed, specific microbial shifts and altered estrogen metabolites may reflect disturbances in estrogen metabolism and urogenital-gastrointestinal microbiota in ovarian endometriosis.
