Association between endometriosis and cardiovascular disease: a population-based cohort study.
Article in Journal of global health, 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
Background: The relationship between endometriosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between endometriosis and CVD risk, to examine whether the association was affected by age group, and to exploratorily assess the mediating role of medications in these associations. Methods: A historical, population-based cohort study was conducted based on the Beijing Medical Claim Data for Employees between 2010 and 2017. A total of 19,903 women with endometriosis and 79,612 controls were identified by matching age and year of endometriosis diagnosis in a 1:4 ratio. The primary outcome was the incident diagnosis of any CVD events, and secondary outcomes were major CVD and cerebrovascular disease. The hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated by Cox proportional hazards models representing the association between endometriosis and CVD. Results: Endometriosis was associated with an increased risk of CVD after adjusting for urbanisation, hypertension and diabetes mellitus (HR = 1.69; 95% CI = 1.35-2.12). The adjusted HRs for major CVD and cerebrovascular disease in women with endometriosis were 1.83 (95% CI = 1.32-2.55) and 1.57 (95% CI = 1.12-2.22) compared with controls, respectively. Interaction analyses between endometriosis and age group (18-44 years vs. 45-55 years) yielded P-values of 0.942, 0.552, and 0.211 for all CVD, major CVD, and cerebrovascular disease, respectively, indicating no statistically significant heterogeneity in the associations across age groups. In the overall population, a proportion of the association between endometriosis and all CVD risk was statistically mediated by statins (68.30%) and aspirin (78.15%). Conclusions: Endometriosis was associated with an increased risk of CVD.
