Effects of ovarian endometrioma aspiration on in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeTo evaluate the effect of ovarian endometrioma aspiration on IVF/ICSI outcomes.
methodsThe PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases were searched to identify studies related to the treatment of endometrioma up to October 1, 2020, and the data of 1207 patients from 10 studies were analyzed using STATA.
resultsThe 10 studies in our analysis included 7 comparing aspiration and surgery and 6 comparing aspiration with no intervention. In the aspiration versus surgery groups, live birth rate [OR 0.97 (95% CI 0.51, 1.85), P = 0.925] and clinical pregnancy rate [OR 1.30 (95% CI 0.95, 1.80), P = 0.105] showed no significant difference between the two groups. Abortion rate [OR 4.26 (95% CI 1.38, 13.08), P = 0.011], the number of oocytes retrieved [mean difference 1.95 (95% CI 0.10, 3.81), P = 0.039], and the estradiol peak on hCG day [mean difference 392.16 (95% CI 230.14, 554.18), P < 0.001] were significantly higher in the aspiration group compared to the surgical group. In the aspiration versus the no intervention group, live birth rate [OR 0.84 (95% CI 0.45, 1.59), P = 0.602] and clinical pregnancy rate [OR 1.25 (95% CI 0.88, 1.77), P = 0.206] were not significantly different between the two groups. The abortion rate [OR 0.31 (95% CI 0.11, 0.88), P = 0.028] and the number of gonadotropin ampoules [mean difference - 3.13 ampoules (95% CI - 4.90, - 1.37), P < 0.001] were significantly lower in the aspiration group compared to the no intervention group.
conclusionCompared with surgical treatment or no intervention treatment, aspiration has less effect on ovarian response, ovarian reserve, and pregnancy outcomes.
