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

Pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) are an underrecognized yet significant cause of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in reproductive-aged women, characterized by venous reflux, obstruction, or both. This clinical opinion provides a practical overview of PeVD for gynecologists, outlining its pathophysiology, common presentations, diagnostic approach, and available treatments. Through a case-based example, it highlights how transdisciplinary collaboration-particularly with interventional radiology-can facilitate timely diagnosis and effective management. By improving awareness and clinical confidence, this guide aims to empower gynecologists to identify PeVD earlier, initiate appropriate management, collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams, and enhance care for women with this complex condition.
