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

Chronic pelvic pain is a common clinical condition among women and accounts for up to 15% of gynecological consultations. Pelvic pain of venous origin is one of the main gynecological causes of chronic pelvic pain, accounting for 16%-31% of cases. Several imaging modalities can be used to evaluate pelvic venous disorders; among them, ultrasonography is a first-line method because it provides real-time anatomical and functional assessment of the pelvic veins. This article reviews pelvic venous anatomy, etiopathogenic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and imaging findings associated with pelvic venous disorders. Using illustrative cases, this review emphasizes the role of transvaginal ultrasound in detecting pelvic varices, venous insufficiency, and morphological and functional abnormalities, thereby supporting accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
