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 hormone-driven systemic inflammatory condition characterized by endometrial-like lesions which grow throughout the body affecting up to 15% of women worldwide with symptoms including chronic pain, infertility, and persistent fatigue. Many patients report a reduction in their quality of life, potentially driven in part by poor sleep quality. Despite this low sleep quality is not a commonly recognized symptom of endometriosis.ObjectiveWe aimed to examine the association between endometriosis and poor sleep quality.DesignWe conducted a systematic literature review and mixed-effects meta-analysis to evaluate the association between endometriosis and sleep quality.Data sources and methodsSix studies identified through PubMed and Embase met inclusion criteria and were assessed for quality. Between-group standardized mean differences (SMD) were pooled, and sensitivity analyses and meta-regressions were performed to evaluate the influence of between-study heterogeneity.ResultsPooling of all studies produced a standardized mean difference of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.28,1.09) with high heterogeneity (I
