Yangmo decoction versus hyaluronic acid gel in women with intrauterine re-adhesion after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis: a retrospective efficacy and safety analysis.
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 2 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
backgroundHysteroscopic adhesiolysis is the preferred primary method for intrauterine adhesion. However, there is about a 60% of chance of re-adhesion after surgery. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yangmo decoction as a secondary treatment in preventing intrauterine re-adhesion against those of hyaluronic acid gel.
methodsWomen received oral Yangmo decoction (YD cohort, n = 105) or intrauterine hyaluronic acid gel (HA cohort, n = 125) or did not receive secondary re-adhesion prevention treatments (EP cohort, n = 165) after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis for 6 months. In addition, all women have received 3 mg of oral estrogen and 20 mg oral progesterone combination after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis for 3 months. Intrauterine re-adhesion after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis after 6 months with or without secondary treatment(s) was detected using hysteroscopy. The extent of the cavity, type of adhesion, and the menstrual pattern were included to define the American Fertility Society classification of intrauterine re-adhesions (AFS) score.
resultsFewer numbers of women suffered from intrauterine re-adhesion after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in the YD cohort than those of the HA (15(14%) vs. 40(32%), p = 0.0019) and the EP (15(14%) vs. 58(35%). p = 0.0001) cohorts. Among women who developed intrauterine re-adhesion, AFS score was fewer for women of the YD cohort than those of HA (2(2-1) vs. 4(4-3), p < 0.001) and the EP (2(2-1) vs. 4(4-4), p < 0.001) cohorts. AFS score after surgery was fewer for women of the HA cohort than those of the EP cohort (p < 0.05). Higher numbers of women of the YD cohort retained pregnancies after 6-months of treatment than those of the HA (55(52%) vs. 45(36%), p = 0.0161) and EP (55(52%) vs. 35(21%), p < 0.0001) cohorts. Among women who develop re-adhesion, 10(10%) women of the YD cohort only had successful pregnancies.
conclusionsYangmo decoction for 6 months after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis can reduce AFS score, prevent intrauterine re-adhesion, and increases the chances of successful pregnancies of women. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV. TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 5.
