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

objectiveTo investigate the effects of laparoscopic surgery combined with triptorelin acetate, gestrinone and mifepristone on pregnancy rate, pregnancy outcome, long-term recurrence and adverse reactions in patients with endometriosis (EMT) complicated with infertility.

methodsIn this study, 150 patients with EMT and infertility were selected and randomly divided into triptorelin group (group A), gestrinone group (group B) and mifepristone group (group C), with 50 people in each group. Treatment was with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH-a) after laparoscopic surgery.

resultsThe success rate of pregnancy in group A was higher than that in group B and C. The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome was lower than that in group B and C. Kupperman score and subjective symptom score were lower than those in group B and C before treatment. Sex hormone level and CA125 level were significantly better. In the B and C groups and before treatment; the long-term recurrence rate was significantly lower than the B and C groups; the incidence of adverse reactions was similar.

conclusionLaparoscopic surgery combined with GnRH-a can improve the success and good rate of pregnancy in EMT patients, reduce clinical symptoms, avoid long-term recurrence, and increase the risk of adverse reactions. Triptorelin acetate is superior to gestrinone and mifepristone.
