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

Ocular involvement in endometriosis is an exceptionally rare extrapelvic manifestation, typically presenting as catamenial haemorrhagia. We report the case of an adolescent girl who presented with recurrent eye bleeding and pain during her menstruation. A comprehensive physical examination and imaging, including orbital magnetic resonance imaging, were unremarkable. Hematologic and ophthalmological evaluations excluded coagulopathies and structural ocular pathologies. Given the cyclical pattern of her symptoms and the absence of other identifiable causes, a presumptive diagnosis of ocular endometriosis was made. The patient was treated with a combination of dienogest and ethinyl estradiol, leading to significant symptom improvement over a two-year follow-up period. Occasional minimal haemolacria persisted, but no further intervention was required. This case underscores the importance of considering endometriosis in the differential diagnosis of catamenial haemolacria, even in the absence of radiological confirmation. A multidisciplinary approach and individualized hormonal therapy can result in substantial symptom control and improved quality of life in affected patients with catamenial haemolacria.
