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

Red meat consumption is widespread globally and has been associated with endometriosis (EMS) progression, although the precise underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to explore the mechanisms by which a red meat diet exacerbates endometriosis progression. Our results showed that red meat intake significantly promoted the growth of endometriotic lesions and aggravated the related inflammatory responses. Mechanistically, a red meat diet alters the composition of the gut microbiota, decreases the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), impairs intestinal barrier function, and activates systemic inflammatory signaling pathways. These findings illustrate that red meat consumption accelerates endometriosis progression through a gut microbiota-mediated pathway, providing new insights into dietary intervention strategies for endometriosis.
