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
Objective: To compare the spontaneous pregnancy rates between dydrogesterone and Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) treatments in patients with endometriosis stage III and IV after laparoscopy. Methods: The clinical data of patients with endometriosis stage III and IV administered laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from January 2018 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Totally 151 cases were divided into two groups according to postoperative medication, including the study (70 cases) and control (81 cases) groups treated with dydrogesterone and GnRH-a, respectively. The spontaneous pregnancy and subsequent pregnancy outcomes were assessed within 12 months. Results: Totally 49 patients had spontaneous pregnancy. Among them, there were 31 cases in the dydrogesterone group (spontaneous pregnancy rate of 44.3%, 31/70), including 25 live birth cases (35.7%, 25/70), 4 miscarriage cases, and 2 ectopic pregnancy cases. The time to conception was 1-10 months (median value of 5 months). Totally 18 cases in the GnRH-a group had spontaneous pregnancy (22.2%, 18/81), including 16 live birth cases (19.8%, 16/81). 81) and 2 miscarriage cases; the time to conception was 3-11 months (median value of 6 months). There were significant differences in spontaneous pregnancy rate and cumulative spontaneous pregnancy rate between the two groups (P = 0.005 and 0.003, respectively). Conclusion: Dydrogesterone after laparoscopic surgery in patients with endometriosis stage III and IV improved the natural pregnancy rate.
