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

backgroundFew studies have focused to determine the peculiarities of the course of pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes after treatment in women with idiopathic hyperprolactinemia.

objectiveTo determine the peculiarities of the course of pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes in women treated for idiopathic hyperprolactinemia, with history of infertility and/or recurrent pregnancy loss. MATERIALS AND

methodsA non-randomized controlled study was conducted at the Center for Reproductive Medicine "Universe" and Medical Clinic "Medhealth" during 2016-2018, involving 96 women with idiopathic hyperprolactinemia, aged 20-44 yr with infertility and/or a history of recurrent pregnancy loss. Prolactin (PRL), follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol (E2), free testosterone, and progesterone were studied in blood serum using immunoassay analysis method. Before the occurrence of pregnancy, hyperprolactinemia was treated with bromocriptine. Dydrogesterone was used to support the luteal phase.

resultsPRL levels decreased significantly and normalized within two-five months, regular menstrual cycle was restored in two-four months, ovulation was restored in three-seven months, and pregnancy was achieved in three-fourteen months. E2 and progesterone levels increased significantly (p

conclusionPregnancy outcomes in women with idiopathic hyperprolactinemia are improved by prolonged and continuous treatment with bromocriptine before pregnancy and administration of dydrogesterone in support of the luteal insufficiency.
