Prevalence of chronic endometritis in infertile women undergoing hysteroscopy and its association with intrauterine abnormalities: A Cross-Sectional study.
Article in JBRA assisted reproduction, 2024. 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
objectiveChronic endometritis (CE) is an inflammatory condition with several different risk factors. We aimed to examine whether intrauterine abnormalities, such as endometrial polyps, submucosal myomas, intrauterine adhesions, or a septate uterus, were associated with an increased likelihood of developing chronic endometritis.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 335 infertile women who underwent hysteroscopy surgery at the Ayatollah Taleghani Hospital Infertility Center, affiliated by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, in 2022. All participants in the study underwent hysteroscopic surgery, which allowed for direct visualization of the intrauterine cavity, and endometrial biopsies were taken for further analysis. To characterize endometritis, plasma cell infiltration was assessed. Patients with ≥5 plasma cells observed in 10 high-power fields were defined as having chronic endometritis.
resultsEndometritis was observed in 51.3% of the patients, totaling 172 individuals. Logistic regression analysis revealed that patients with endometrial polyps had 5.2 times higher odds of developing endometritis compared to patients without polyps (95% CI = 2.9, 9.2) (p-value <0.001). Similarly, patients with intrauterine adhesions had a significant increase in the odds of endometritis (OR = 4.6, 95% CI = 2.1, 10.1) (p-value <0.001).
conclusionsTreatment or removal of endometrial abnormalities through hysteroscopic procedures may help to reduce the risk of chronic endometritis and improve fertility outcomes. Further research is necessary.
