Hysteroscopy for retained products of conception: a single-institution experience.
Article in BMC women's health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundRetained products of conception can occur with induced abortion during early-term pregnancy, induction of labor during mid-term pregnancy, drug-induced abortion, miscarriage, cesarean delivery, or full-term normal delivery. Compared with traditional dilation and curettage, hysteroscopy is a safer and more effective treatment method for retained products of conception. This study aimed to report the efficacy of hysteroscopy for treating retained products of conception and to share our new clinical perspectives.
methodsThis retrospective, single-center study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Chengdu, China. We included 36 patients with retained products of conception who underwent hysteroscopy at our hospital.
resultsOur study reported a complete removal rate of 80.5% (29/36) with one procedure. The normal menstruation recovery rate during 1 year of follow-up was 91.6% (33/36). A low rate of postoperative intrauterine adhesions (2.8% [1/36]) was also reported.
conclusionOur retrospective study elucidated the use of hysteroscopy for retained products of conception. We also shared new perspectives regarding hysteroscopy and optimal surgical methods for treating retained products of conception as well as our experience treating residual products with hysteroscopy. To our knowledge, no other study has shared similar experiences.
