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
backgroundEndometriosis, a chronic and often painful gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, significantly impacts multiple facets of women's lives, including their sexual health, psychological well-being, and overall quality of life. The heterogeneous presentation of symptoms, ranging from dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia to infertility, exerts not only a physical toll but also an emotional and social burden. This cross-sectional study explored how social support contributed to the quality of life in Portuguese-speaking women residing in Portugal with endometriosis and how sexual satisfaction could contribute to explaining these associations. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: A total of 106 women with a self-reported diagnosis of endometriosis, with a mean age of 33.54 years (
resultsThe results revealed that higher social support is significantly associated with greater sexual satisfaction (
conclusionsThese findings underscore the importance of social connections and sexual health in managing endometriosis among Portuguese-speaking women residing in Portugal, offering valuable insights for clinical practice and future research on holistic care for women with chronic conditions.
