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

Chronic endometritis (CE) is the persistent inflammation of the endometrial lining associated with infertility and various forms of reproductive failures. The diagnosis of CE is based on the histological evidence of stromal plasma cells; however, standardized methods to assess plasma cells are still lacking. In the present paper, we aimed to determine the most appropriate plasma cell threshold to diagnose CE based on pregnancy outcomes. Three electronic databases were searched from their inception to February 2022 for all studies comparing pregnancy outcomes between patients with CE and patients without CE. The relative risk (RR) of pregnancy, miscarriage, and/or live birth rates were calculated and pooled based on the plasma cell threshold adopted. A
