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

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that can cause pelvic adhesions. Severe adhesions increase the difficulty of surgery, resulting in prolonged operation time, increased intraoperative bleeding, and increased complications such as surgical injury. Preoperative preparation can be improved if the severity of adhesions in a patient can be predicted. This study aimed to identify independent risk factors for moderate-to-severe pelvic adhesions in patients with ovarian endometriosis and evaluate the predictive performance of routine preoperative clinical and laboratory parameters for adhesion severity. A retrospective review of the medical records at our hospital was conducted to identify patients with ovarian endometriosis confirmed by pathology between January 2018 and September 2024. We collected data on age, presence of dysmenorrhea or chronic pelvic pain, location and size of ovarian cysts, routine blood tests, coagulation tests, and tumor marker tests. The patients were categorized into the no or mild adhesion group and the moderate-to-severe adhesion group based on the modified American Society for Reproductive Medicine scoring system. In this study, 128 patients were included in the no or mild adhesion group, whereas 186 patients were included in the moderate-to-severe adhesion group. There were no significant differences in body mass index size, or pain symptoms between the 2 groups. However, age, cyst location, and revised American Fertility Society stage were significantly different. When comparing routine blood tests, coagulation tests, and tumor marker tests, we found that the levels of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, cancer antigen 125 (CA125), cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and fibrinogen (FIB) were significantly higher in the moderate-to-severe adhesion group than in the group with no or mild adhesion (P < .05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that location, age, and FIB status were independent risk factors for ovarian endometriosis. Advanced age, bilateral ovarian cysts, and elevated preoperative FIB levels are independent risk factors for moderate-to-severe pelvic adhesions in patients with ovarian endometriosis.
