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

introductionMany infertile patients have used Korean medicines (KMs) as a primary or adjuvant therapeutic method to improve in vitro fertilization success rates. The aim of this multicenter observational study is to investigate the effects of KMs on poor ovarian reserve (POR) in infertile patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will perform a prospective multicenter observational study. This study will recruit 50 women between 25 and 44 years of age with infertility caused by POR from among patients who visit the KM clinic. All participants will visit the KM clinic on the 2nd or 3rd day of menstruation to receive the KMs. KM treatment will be delivered for 3 menstrual cycles (3 months) and will include herbal decoction, acupuncture, or moxibustion on demand. Every participant will be assessed based on KM clinical symptoms, a quality of life questionnaire, and ovarian reserve test results. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study was approved by Institutional Review Board of Semyung University (SMU-IM-190501). The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and will be disseminated electronically and in print. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Clinical Research Information Service: KCT0004209.
