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

Endometriosis is a highly prevalent and morbid condition in women of reproductive age, often leading to well-known complications such as infertility, intestinal adhesions, and severe chronic pelvic pain. There is a particular and less frequent entity, even in patients with no prior history of pelvic pain or endometriosis, that presents as a pelvic mass associated with hemorrhagic ascites. This finding can be confused with a malignant ovarian neoplasm, a diagnostic error with unfavorable outcomes and a significant impact on patients' lives. We present the case of a young woman with no prior history of pelvic pain who presented with a right adnexal mass, ascites, pleural effusion, and elevated tumor markers. She underwent a radical hysterectomy with a presumption of an ovarian neoplasm involving the peritoneum. Imaging findings included a right ovarian bilobed lesion with high T2 signal intensity, a shading sign, a fluid-fluid level, and thick walls. The final pathological diagnosis was endometriosis.
