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

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age and this, depending on its severity, very often leads to infertility. New research has shed light on the role of underlying endometritis due to the presence of inflammatory, non-oestrogen metabolising microbiome at the mucosal interface and this in turn leads to the activation of aggressive, non-tolerant immune cells in the endometrium. These immune cells require the presence of tolerance-inducing commensals such as Lactobacilli so as to allow the implantation of the fertilised egg. New therapies should be holistic and address both the dysbiosis as well as immune abnormalities. Routine immune monitoring of the immune cells derived from the endometrium and/or microbial profiling should recommended to better predict assisted reproduction outcomes in these couples.
