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

Objectives: The effects of laparoscopic surgical management in women with stage III/IV endometriosis remain controversial. The standard extent of resection for stage III/IV endometriosis with deep endometriosis to treat endometriosis-associated infertility is debatable. This study aimed to assess the postoperative pregnancy outcomes following a routine surgical intervention for stage III/IV endometriosis patients. Materials and Methods: Patients with stage III/IV endometriosis who underwent conservative laparoscopic surgery at our hospital between January 2010 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the correlations between endometriosis features and postoperative pregnancy outcomes. Results: Of 256 patients enrolled, 94 wished to conceive. Exclusion criteria: ≥40 years, adenomyosis, partners with infertility issues. Finally, 71 women were included. The overall postoperative pregnancy rate was 76.1% ( Conclusion: Our postoperative pregnancy rate after conservative laparoscopic surgery for patients with stage III/IV endometriosis compared favorably with previous reports. EFI was a significant predictor of postoperative pregnancy. Our surgical approach to maintain a high surgical score of EFI might help treat endometriosis-associated infertility.
