Relationship between endometriosis diagnosis, staging, and typology and inflammatory cytokines.
Article in F&S reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To study whether incident endometriosis diagnosis, staging, and typology are associated with concurrent elevated serum inflammatory markers interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- Design: Cross-sectional analysis using data from the Endometriosis, Natural History, Diagnosis, and Outcomes (ENDO) study. Subjects: A total of 395 premenopausal females in Utah, with no prior endometriosis diagnosis, participating in diagnostic or therapeutic gynecologic laparoscopy/laparotomy, 2007-2009. Exposure: Endometriosis diagnosis, staging (minimal, mild, moderate, severe), and typology (superficial endometriosis [SE], deep infiltrating endometriosis [DE], ovarian endometrioma [OE]), determined through postoperative reports and the revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine classification. Main Outcome Measure: Elevated serum cytokine concentrations defined as IL-6 ≥2 pg/mL, IL-8 ≥3 pg/mL, and TNF-α ≥7.5 pg/mL. Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using generalized linear models controlling for age, body mass index (BMI), race/ethnicity, serum cotinine, and reported use of oral hormonal contraception within the past 2 years. Results: Participants were on average 33 years at time of gynecologic laparoscopy/laparotomy, non-Hispanic white (79%), married (75%), with a BMI of 18.5-24.9 kg/m Conclusion: This study found no associations between incident endometriosis diagnosis, staging, typology, and concurrent serum inflammatory markers IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-
