Endometriosis and adverse pregnancy outcomes in primiparous women: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo assess whether pre-existing endometriosis is associated with specific adverse pregnancy and delivery outcomes in primiparous women.
designRetrospective cohort study.
settingTertiary care university hospital. POPULATION OR SAMPLE: Primiparous women with singleton pregnancies.
methodsWomen with endometriosis were compared with primiparous controls without endometriosis. Primary outcomes were preterm birth and cesarean delivery; placenta previa was examined as a key secondary outcome. Multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for maternal age and mode of conception were used.
main outcome measuresPreterm birth, cesarean delivery, placenta previa.
resultsAmong 16,033 primiparous women, 118 had a diagnosis of endometriosis prior to pregnancy. After adjustment for maternal age and mode of conception, endometriosis was not independently associated with preterm birth (adjusted odds ratio 0.75; 95% confidence interval 0.44-1.28) or cesarean delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 1.17; 95% confidence interval, 0.81-1.71). In contrast, endometriosis was associated with placenta previa (adjusted odds ratio, 5.90; 95% confidence interval, 2.37-14.71).
conclusionIn primiparous women, pre-existing endometriosis was independently associated with placenta previa, but not with preterm birth or cesarean delivery. These findings support abnormal early placentation as a potential mechanism linking endometriosis to adverse obstetric outcomes.
