Ambulatory Hysteroscopy: Evaluating Pain and Determining Factors.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Study objective: To measure pain using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and analyse its relationships with variables such as menopausal status, parity, uterine and cervical pathology, procedure length, and anxiety in patients undergoing ambulatory hysteroscopy (AH). Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: Dr DY Patil Medical Hospital and Research Centre, Dr.D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pimpri, Pune. Patients: Seventy-five women. Intervention: Ambulatory hysteroscopy(AH). Methodology: AH was performed in seventy-five patients using vaginoscopic approach. At the end of the procedure, the intensity of pain was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), from the score of 0 (no pain) to 10 (intolerable pain). The factors determining pain were assessed. Results: Patients who underwent AH reported mild pain in 66% of cases, moderate pain in 22%, and severe pain in 12% of cases. The most frequent reason for referral was abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).In the moderate pain group, the bivariate analysis was statistically significant for menopausal status ( Conclusion: Hysteroscopy is a safe, painless and a gold standard procedure. Pain experienced during AH was significantly influenced by cervical pathology. Gynaecologists in practise should receive training and start using AH to assess the endometrial cavity.
