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
Purpose: Endometriosis is one of the main reproductive issues that the modifiable risk factors is still the main research focus. It is still unclear how various adiposity affect the onset and spread of endometriosis because some studies have found that there was inverse correlation, while others showed different findings. This study aims to determine the association between body fat percentage (BFP) and the severity of endometriosis in women of reproductive age using American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) 2021 Endometriosis Classification. Patients and Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytic design conducted at Hasan Sadikin Hospital from July to October 2025. Some inclusion (endometriosis woman who will undergo laparoscopic surgery with age of 20-45 years) and exclusion (subject with suspected malignancy) criteria are applied in this study. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the significance of baseline characteristic, body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and BFP towards AAGL endometriosis stage. Results: Our analysis indicates that the baseline characteristic showed no significant differences between the two groups (Mild-Moderate [Stage I-II] vs Severe [Stage III-IV]). Subsequently, this study revealed significant results WHR, MUAC, and BMI with p-values of 0.012, <0.001, and 0.023, respectively, towards AAGL stage. The study found a significant association between BFP and AAGL stage, with p-values <0.001. The negative association between WHR and MUAC with Body Fat Percentage towards AAGL was significant for WHR ≤0.80, WHR >0.80, and MUAC ≤23 cm, but not for MUAC >23 cm. Conclusion: The study found a significant inverse relationship between BFP and endometriosis stage, with similar results for other measurements like BMI, WHR, and MUAC. In addition, shorter menstrual cycles due to high BFP were also associated with an increased risk of endometriosis.
