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

BackgroundChronic pain is a common symptom of endometriosis with significant negative impact on physical and social activities. Patients perceive that healthcare professionals lack knowledge about the condition, and that available treatment options provide insufficient pain relief. Physical activity is recommended for endometriosis-associated pain in Swedish guidelines. However, little is known about how patients perceive and engage in physical activity in daily life.ObjectivesTo explore physical activity, self-management strategies and healthcare experiences in individuals with endometriosis-associated chronic pain.DesignA qualitative descriptive design.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured individual interviews with 15 participants between December 2021 and September 2022. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using qualitative content analysis.ResultsThe overarching theme identified from the analysis, "Yearning for movement", captures both the strong desire to be physically active and the challenges of doing so while living with endometriosis-associated chronic pain. Three categories illuminate the various paths participants took in their efforts to manage physical activity. "
