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
objectivesThe prevalence of intrauterine adhesion (IUA) increased gradually, which seriously affected female reproductive health and fertility. This study aims to analyze the clinical features of pre-, intra-, and post hysteroscopic adhesiolysis (HA) and to identify the main risk factors for non-live birth and other factors affecting pregnancy outcome in patients with IUA.
methodsA total of 486 IUA patients with reproductive needs, who underwent HA in the third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2017 to May 2018, were retrospectively included. The follow-up period was 2-3 years after operation. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to explore the relationship between clinical features and live birth rate in patients with IUA. Pre-operative clinical indicators included age, gravidity, parity, abortion, IUA recurrence, menstrual patterns, and disease course. Intraoperative clinical features assessed in the last operation were uterine cavity length, IUA appearance, IUA area, number of visible uterine cornua, number of visible tubal ostia, and American Fertility Society (AFS) scores. The relationship between clinical indicators and postoperative live birth rate was investigated by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Pregnancy pattern was the main variable.
resultsAmong the 486 IUA patients included in this study, there were 256 (52.67%) live births and 230 (47.33%) non-live births. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression showed that the live birth rate of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) after HA was higher than that of spontaneous pregnancy (OR=0.557, 95% CI 0.361 to 0.861, P=0.008). When the bilaterally fallopian tube ostia were invisible in the last operation (OR=0.322, 95% CI 0.104 to 0.997, P=0.049), patients were more likely to have live birth. The older the patient was, the lower the live birth rate was (OR=1.081, 95% CI 1.034 to 1.131, P<0.001). The live birth rate would be low when the last AFS score was moderate (OR=2.973, 95% CI to 1.541 to 5.738, P<0.010).
conclusionsBased on the outcome of the first pregnancy after HA, IUA patients' pregnancy patterns, age, number of visible tubal ostia, and AFS scores noted by a second-look hysteroscopy, are the factors influencing the prognosis for the live birth rate in IUA patients. IVF-ET may improve live birth rate for patients with IUA after HA.
