Fertility-enhancing effect of oil-based contrast agents during hysterosalpingography and the variation of this effect within a 3-year follow-up period in infertile patients.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Objective: The previous study has indicated the fertility-enhancing effect of oil-based contrast agents during hysterosalpingography (HSG) in infertile patients. However, the variation of this effect with the time frame is seldom reported. The current study aimed to explore fertility improvement using oil-based contrast agents and the change of this improvement during the 3-year follow-up period in infertile patients. Materials and methods: Infertile women who underwent HSG with oil-based contrast agents ( Results: The spontaneous pregnancy rate was 79% in the oil-based group and 70.2% in the water-based group. The cumulative spontaneous pregnancy rate was increased in the oil-based group when compared with the water-based group ( Conclusion: The HSG procedure with oil-based contrast agents shows a fertility-enhancing effect when compared to water-based contrast agents. This improvement could last at least 1 year while dropping to the normal level within the subsequent 2 years.
