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

backgroundImplantation failure due to thin endometrium has emerged as a major cause of infertility. In this study, we aimed to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of adipose tissue-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs), a source of adipose-derived stem cells, in infertility patients with implantation failure.

methodsFive infertile women with implantation failure despite artificial reproductive technology were enrolled in this study and treated with ADRCs via the intrauterine route. The primary outcome was the incidence of adverse events. Additional outcomes were endometrial thickness after ADRC treatment and pregnancy success after embryo transfer.

resultsThere were no adverse events in any patient. There was no elevation of white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, or D-dimer levels. There was a significant difference in endometrial thickness in the secretory phase before versus after intrauterine transplantation of ADRCs (3.8 ± 1.3 mm versus 8.8 ± 2.8 mm, respectively; p<0.05). A gestational sac and fetal heartbeat were detected on transvaginal ultrasound in two of five patients.

conclusionIntrauterine infusion of autologous ADRCs is a simple and safe procedure that may ameliorate the endometrial microenvironment in infertile women with implantation failure.
