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

Transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA) is the standard treatment for the intrauterine adhesions, but the recurrence of adhesions is a tough problem for the gynecologist. In addition, the therapeutic strategy after TCRA about prevention of recurrence remains controversial especially for the patients with moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions (IUAs). Hence, we designed this study to explore the safety and efficacy of fresh amnion grafts for preventing the recurrence after TCRA for patients with moderate to severe IUAs. One hundred patients with moderate to severe IUAs who presented with a history of hypomenorrhea, amenorrhea and infertility were included in the study from January 2015 to December 2017. Patients were divided into amnion group (52 patients) and chitosan group (48 patients). Fresh amnion grafts or intrauterine injections of chitosan were administered after TCRA. Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) and hysteroscopy were performed at the first and third month after the operation. The surgical procedures for all patients were completed successfully without relevant complications. In amnion group, 8 patients exhibited relapse in the first month and 2 patients in three months after surgery; in chitosan group, 23 women exhibited relapse in the first month and 18 patients in three months after surgery. Statistical analysis revealed that the recurrence rate of adhesion in amnion group was significantly lower than those of chitosan group in the first and three months after surgery (
