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

objectiveThe objective of this research is to investigate the association between the concentrations of soluble human leukocyte G antigen (sHLA-G) in the follicular fluid (FF) in infertile patients with peritoneal endometriosis submitted to in vitro fertilization.

methodsWe performed a cross-sectional study, including ninety-six women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) ageing ≤ 40 years. Infertile patients were classified into two groups: with endometriosis diagnosed by laparoscopy and without endometriosis due to tubal factor. ELISA measured soluble HLA-G in the FF of a pool of punctured (more than 17mm) follicles from women with endometriosis and without endometriosis who were subjected to ovulation induction for IVF. Embryos obtained after fertilization were classified according to the graduated embryo score (GES).

resultsGroups were comparables in terms of age, the number of follicles, AMH, FSH and all included reproductive outcomes. There was no association between sHLA-G concentrations and the average score of the generated embryos (p>0.05). Measurement of sHLA-G in the follicle fluid in women with endometriosis and without endometriosis (tubal factor) showed no significant difference (p>0.05). We also compared sHLA-G per follicle and per embryo, which were not different between both groups (p>0.05).

conclusionsPatients with peritoneal endometriosis submitted to IVF did not demonstrate an altered sHLA-G in the follicular fluid compared to the follicular fluid sHLA-G concentration in tubal factor patients. Also, this molecule was not linked to any other reproductive outcome.
