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
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of combining pelvic floor neuromuscular stimulation treatment (NMES) with sodium hyaluronate in preventing intrauterine adhesions (IUA) following abortion. A total of 140 women who underwent artificial abortion were enrolled. The control group received only an intrauterine injection of sodium hyaluronate post-surgery, while the observation group received both the injection and daily pelvic floor NMES treatments, beginning on the day after the abortion. Monthly follow-ups on menstrual conditions were conducted for six months post-surgery. Fasting venous blood samples from both groups were collected on the second day post-abortion and the day after treatment. Transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound was used on the second day post-abortion and the 15th day post the first menstrual cycle to measure endometrial thickness, and the pulsatility and resistance indices of the endometrial spiral arteries. Over the six-month follow-up, the combination therapy group exhibited a notably lower IUA incidence compared to the control group (2.8% vs. 15.7%). Furthermore, combined treatment significantly expedited post-abortion menstrual recovery, reduced vaginal bleeding volume and duration (P < 0.001). It also increased endometrial thickness and reduced the endometrial spiral artery's pulsatility and resistance indices (P < 0.05). In addition, lower serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and higher interleukin-10 (IL-10) were found in the observation group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The combination therapy offers significant advantages in preventing and reducing IUA after abortion, resulting in a substantial reduction in IUA occurrence.
