Inguinal endometriosis mimicking an inguinal hernia: A case report and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Inguinal endometriosis is a very rare extrapelvic form of endometriosis, estimated to occur in only 0.3-0.6% of women with endometriosis. It mostly affects the right round ligament running inside the inguinal canal. Its symptoms, an intermittent, cyclical right groin mass or pain, can very easily be confused with an inguinal hernia, which results in patients not being diagnosed on time or being operated on inappropriately. Here we present a 38-year-old female patient with repeated episodes of gradually worsening and relieving right inguinal pain, in whom ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were highly suggestive of inguinal endometriosis. Laparoscopic excision of the lesion together with the involved round ligament segment was performed, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis, rather than management as a simple hernia.
