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

purposeTo investigate the perinatal outcomes of patients with clinical pregnancies from ICSI treatments who had previously undergone hysteroscopic surgery to correct partial intrauterine septa and compare them to outcomes of patients with no intrauterine anomalies.

methodA retrospective observational analysis of 2024 ultrasound confirmed pregnancies from ICSI treatments performed between January 2005 and June 2012. The patients were grouped according to their intrauterine status, and sub-grouped according to the number of fetal hearts observed; singleton control (n=1128), twin control (n=566), singleton septum (n=217) and twin septum (n=113). The primary outcomes analyzed were miscarriage, preterm, very preterm, stillbirth, vanishing twin and live delivery rates, as well as low birth weight and very low birth weight rates. RESULT(S): The live birth rate (89,9 %) in the singleton control subgroup was non-significantly higher than the live birth rate (85,3 %) in the septum subgroup, with a RR of 1,05 (p=0,0583, 95 % CI 0,9943-1,1182) for live birth. In contrast the live birth rate (91,3 %) in twin control subgroup was significantly higher than the live birth rate (84,1 %) in the septum subgroup, with a RR 1,09 (p=0,0282, 95 % CI 0,9988-1,1819). Non-significantly, higher miscarriage and stillbirth rates were the main contributors to the reduced live birth rates. The singleton and twin septum subgroups also had higher rates of premature and very premature delivery and LBWs and vLBW, especially in the singleton septum subgroup. CONCLUSION(S): The hysteroscopic correction of intrauterine septa may not eliminate all risks for premature delivery.
