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

backgroundEndometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease marked by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Main symptoms include pain in the sacrum, pelvis, and abdomen, occurring at various stages of the menstrual cycle or during intercourse. These symptoms can severely affect daily functioning and quality of life.

methodsThe study involved 200 women aged 18-47, divided into two groups. The WHT group (N = 100) included women with endometriosis not receiving hormone therapy, and the HT group (N = 100) included women undergoing hormone treatment. An anonymous questionnaire was used, comprising a VAS, the FFQ-6 food frequency questionnaire, and questions regarding menstruation-related symptoms and effects.

resultsWomen in the HT group reported higher pain levels (Me = 8.0 vs. 7.0) and more frequent negative impacts on academic/work performance (

conclusionsWomen with endometriosis undergoing hormone therapy report more severe pain and more frequent disruptions in daily functioning. Both hormone therapy and diet significantly influence the intensity of menstrual symptoms as well as the ability to function professionally and socially.
