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 the influence factors of laparoscopic postoperative pregnancy of patients with endometriosis and infertility, further validate the application of EFI scoring system in endometriosis, and to improve the pregnancy rate.A total of 258 patients with endometriosis and infertility who underwent laparoscopic surgery and follow-up treatment at Wuxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2015 to December 2016 were selected and divided into pregnant and non-pregnant groups according to whether they were pregnant. All patients were divided into 4 groups according to EFI score: group with EFI score ≥9, 7-8, 4-6, and <4, and divided into I, II, III, and IV groups according to AFS stages. The uterus-laparoscopic surgery was performed. The patients were followed up for 3 years. The factors affecting the pregnancy rate were analyzed. The pregnancy rate and pregnancy types were calculated at different time points.Multivariate analysis showed that age <35 years, infertility time <5 years, secondary infertility, EFI score, postoperative ART application were protection factors of postoperative pregnancy. The 3-year cumulative postoperative pregnancy rate was 75.6%. The cumulative pregnancy rate was 92.2% in group with EFI score ≥9, 85.9% in group with EFI score 7-8, 62.5% in group with EFI score 4-6 and 5.9% in group with EFI score <4, there was significant difference between the 4 groups (P < .05). The proportion of pregnancies in 6 months and 12 months was higher in patients with EFI score ≥7, 61.0% in patients with EFI score ≥9 and 41.1% in patients with EFI score ≥7. The highest natural pregnancy rate was 83.1% in group with EFI score ≥9, and there was significant difference between the 4 groups (P < .05).Age <35 years, infertility time <5 years, secondary infertility, EFI score and ART application were the protective factors of postoperative pregnancy. EFI score had positive significance in predicting and guiding the postoperative pregnancy of patients with endometriosis and infertility. According to EFI score, the pregnancy rate of patients with endometriosis and infertility can be significantly improved by strict management and active pregnancy program.
