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
purposeEndometriosis, a prevalent gynecological condition, significantly impacts physical, psychological, and social well-being. This study explores the relationship between attachment styles, emotion regulation difficulties, and quality of life in women with endometriosis. Drawing on attachment theory, the study hypothesized that secure attachment would correlate with fewer emotion regulation difficulties and higher quality of life, while insecure attachment styles would correlate with greater difficulties and lower quality of life.
methodsThe study included 354 Italian women diagnosed with endometriosis. Participants completed the Relationship Questionnaire to assess attachment styles, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form to evaluate emotion regulation, and the WHOQOL-BREF to measure quality of life. Data analysis employed structural equation modeling to examine the direct and indirect effects of attachment styles on quality of life, mediated by emotion regulation difficulties.
resultsResults confirmed the hypotheses: secure attachment was associated with better emotion regulation and higher quality of life, whereas preoccupied and fearful attachment styles were linked to greater emotion regulation difficulties and lower quality of life. The dismissing attachment style did not show significant associations.
conclusionsThe findings underscore the importance of addressing emotion regulation in therapeutic interventions for women with endometriosis.
