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

In clinical practice, the co-existence of endometriosis and gastrointestinal symptoms is often observed. Using large-scale datasets, we report a genetic correlation between endometriosis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GORD), and a combined GORD/PUD medicated (GPM) phenotype. Mendelian randomization analyses support a causal relationship between genetic predisposition to endometriosis and IBS and GPM. Identification of shared risk loci highlights biological pathways that may contribute to the pathogenesis of both diseases, including estrogen regulation and inflammation, and potential therapeutic drug targets (CCKBR; PDE4B). Higher use of IBS, GORD, and PUD medications in women with endometriosis and higher use of hormone therapies in women with IBS, GORD, and PUD, support the co-occurrence of these conditions and highlight the potential for drug repositioning and drug contraindications. Our results provide evidence of shared disease etiology and have important clinical implications for diagnostic and treatment decisions for both diseases.
