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

To investigate how uterine size and volume are associated with live birth rate in patients undergoing assisted reproduction technology.This prospective cohort study was conducted at the Reproductive Medicine Centre from January 2010 to May 2017. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the relations between uterine size, total volume, and live birth outcomes, after they were adjusted for the main influencing factors.A total of 7320 women of clinical pregnancy were enrolled. Compared with uterine lengths of 50 to 59 mm (referent), women with uterine lengths ≥60 mm had a lower live birth rate (RR = 1.541). Compared with uterine widths of ≥50 mm (referent), women with uterine widths <30 mm had a lower live birth rate (RR = 1.430). Compared with uterine anteroposterior diameters of <30 mm (referent), women with uterine anteroposterior diameters ≥50 mm had a lower live birth rate (RR = 1.636). Compared with uterine volumes of 30 to 49 mL (referent), women with volumes <30 mL and ≥70 mL had lower live birth rates (RR = 1.368 and 1.742, respectively).Our findings indicate that uterine sizes and volumes that were too large or too small reduced the live birth rate.
