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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of five different intrauterine adhesion (IUA) evaluation systems for live birth rate following transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA).

methodThis retrospective study included 128 women with IUA who desired for spontaneous conception after TCRA. All the patients were retrospectively scored by the American Fertility Society (AFS) classification, European Society of Gynecological Endoscopy (ESGE) classification, March's classification (March), Nasr classification (Nasr) and Chinese IUA diagnosis classification criteria (Chinese). The predictive value of these evaluation systems was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under a ROC curve (AUC).

resultsThe correlation coefficients of AFS, ESGE, March, Nasr and Chinese classification and the live birth rate were 0.313, 0.313, 0.288, 0.380, and 0.336, respectively. Among women with hypomenorrhea and amenorrhea, as well as women with no infertility, the severities determined by all five evaluation systems were correlated with live birth rate (P <  0.001). All five scoring systems were efficient to predict live birth rate. Among them, Nasr classification showed the highest AUC (0.748) with the best predictive value. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that Nasr classification had the highest OR (OR, 6.523; 95% CI, 2.612, 18.263). And, Nasr's classification system also showed highest sensitivity (81.8%) and negative predictive value (96.7%) when divide the system into mild IUA vs. moderate and severe IUA.

conclusionAFS, ESGE, March, Nasr and Chinese classification were demonstrated to be capable of predicting live birth following TCRA although the predictive capacities might be limited, and Nasr classification showed the highest predictive value of live birth.
