Defining the proliferative phase endometrial defect.
Article in Fertility and sterility, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate proliferative phase endometrial development in a heterogeneous infertility population.
designRetrospective study.
settingUniversity-based infertility practice. PATIENT(S): Two hundred forty-six treatment cycles. INTERVENTION(S): Clomiphene citrate or FSH ovarian stimulation, followed by IUI or IVF. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Endometrial thickness according to transvaginal ultrasonography; clinical pregnancy rate. RESULT(S): Endometrial growth began from a nadir of approximately 4.5 mm on cycle day 4 and increased linearly to a plateau of approximately 10 mm on cycle day 9. This same pattern was observed in all cycles, regardless of pregnancy, drug, or underlying diagnosis. Follicle-stimulating hormone-stimulated cycles showed a significantly increased endometrial thickness compared with clomiphene citrate cycles (10.1 vs. 8.3 mm). Maximum endometrial thickness achieved showed a correlation with age, body mass index, and maximum E(2) level. Subjects who carried a primary diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, or recurrent pregnancy loss all achieved a significantly lower peak endometrial thickness than control subjects. There was a trend toward increased endometrial thickness in cycles resulting in pregnancy compared with those not (10.1 vs. 9.6 mm, respectively). CONCLUSION(S): Endometrial development follows a predictable pattern, with a plateau in growth at cycle day 9. Diseases associated with infertility manifest a proliferative phase defect that can be recognized clinically.
