Lower cumulative live birth rates in cured endometrial tuberculosis patients after one ART cycle including all subsequent frozen-thaw cycles: A matched-pair study.
Article in European journal of obstetrics & gynecology and reproductive biology: X, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 outcomes of the first ART cycle including all subsequent frozen-thaw cycles from the same oocyte retrieval till first live birth in women with cured endometrial tuberculosis. STUDY
designThis is a 1:4 matched-pair study, 113 cured endometrial tuberculosis patients (TB group) and 452 patients of non-tuberculosis (Non-TB group) matched for age, basal E2, basal FSH and ovulation protocol who underwent first complete ART cycles in our institution during December 2010 and December 2015 were included in the study. The baseline characteristic, clinic data, and IVF treatment outcomes were compared and analyzed between the two groups.
resultsCompared with the Non-TB group, the cumulative clinical pregnancy rates was similar (64.6% vs 65.1%, p = 0.89) but the cumulative live birth rates (40.7% vs 52.7%, p < 0.00) were significantly lower and the spontaneous abortion rates (37.0% vs 13.2%, P＜0.05 was significantly higher in TB group. There was no significant difference in the clinical pregnancy rates, live birth rates and spontaneous abortion rates between the fresh cycles and frozen-thaw cycles in the TB group.
conclusionWomen may have increased risk of miscarriage and decreased CLBRs after cured endometrial TB infection when undergoing IVF.
