Guideline in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 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
backgroundThe scheduled update of the S2k guideline "Diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis", published by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF; registry number 015/045), was released on April 1, 2025.
methodsThe guideline was developed under the coordination of the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG), the Austrian Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics (ÖGGG), and the Swiss Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics (SGGG), together with 34 scientific societies (including the German Pain Society), professional organizations and associations, and three patient self-help groups. The systematic literature search followed a predefined algorithm and covered the period from 2019 to 2023. In a structured consensus process, 73 recommendations and 25 statements were formulated in accordance with AWMF regulations.
resultsCompared to the 2020 guideline, the following changes were made regarding pain management: core therapeutic principles were expanded to include chapters on pharmacological symptomatic pain treatment, psychosomatic therapy, complementary therapy, and additional as well as multimodal treatment approaches. A tiered, multimodal treatment strategy for chronic endometriosis-related pain was recommended.
conclusionThe updated S2k guideline incorporates key concepts of pain medicine, including pain mechanisms (nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic), risk factors for chronification, and biopsychosocial models. Recommendations for pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, including tiered multimodal treatment approaches, were developed and agreed upon in an interdisciplinary process based on current evidence and feasibility.
