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

backgroundIntrauterine adhesion (IUA) prevalence is difficult to measure, but appears to have increased over the last few decades. The reproductive outcomes following hysteroscopic adhesiolysis (HA) for moderate-severe IUAs were unsatisfactory, and few studies have analyzed the clinical characteristics pre-, intra- and post-HA to determine the main risk factors for infertility in patients with IUAs.

methodsThis retrospective observational study included 406 patients, desiring fertility, who had undergone HA between January 1st, 2016 to May 31st, 2017, and had moderate-to-severe IUA [5-12 on the American Fertility Society (AFS) classification scale]. Logistic regression was performed to analyze the data of the clinical characteristics associated with IUA.

resultsA total of 406 IUA patients were initially collected. Twenty-six [26] were lost during follow-up or excluded by other criteria; 380 were included in the study with a follow-up period ranging from 2 to 3 years. There were 215 patients (56.6%) that became pregnant, of whom 18 spontaneously miscarried, 5 birthed prematurely (31-36 gestational weeks), 182 delivered at term, and 10 were pregnant at the end of the study. A bivariate and binary logistic regression analysis showed that an age of >30 years, cohesive IUA, lack of increased menstrual volume, and more than 2 times undergoing HA procedure were the risk factors for infertility in IUA patients (P<0.05).

conclusionsAge, severity of IUA, increased menstrual volume, and HA procedures were the dominant factors affecting reproductive outcomes and may be regarded as potential predictors for evaluating IUA prognosis.
