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

Septate uterus is the most common congenital uterine malformation. It has been associated with poor reproductive outcomes, such as infertility and recurrent miscarriage, in the context of both assisted and non-assisted reproduction, though the exact underlying pathophysiological reasons remain unclear. Diagnosis is based on two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, or laparoscopic/hysteroscopic findings. Hysteroscopic repair of the uterine septum has been shown to confer several benefits to reproductive outcomes, though this fact remains in question, due to inconsistent and or low-quality evidence in the medical literature. An individualized approach to the treatment of infertility patients with septate uteri is imperative, given the plethora of possible underlying factors that may complicate management. In this report, we present the case of a patient with a subseptate uterus and a history of infertility, who, following hysteroscopic metroplasty, managed to conceive and ultimately successfully deliver a healthy child.
