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

Objective and rationale: Chronic endometritis (CE) has recently been associated with unexplained infertility and recurrent miscarriages. The current gold standard for CE detection is histopathological examination. However, office hysteroscopy and endometrial cultures are also significant, due to the possible link between CE and various microorganisms. Bacterial colonization of the endometrium has been associated with reduced success rates of in vitro fertilisation embryo transfer. Few studies have tried to correlate CE hysteroscopy findings with pathogenic microorganisms. This prospective cohort study sought to establish whether hysteroscopic diagnostic lesions correlate with specific microbial species. Methods: The study encompassed women undergoing diagnostic tests for a range of subfertility health issues. 189 women completed the standard office diagnostic hysteroscopy (DH). 181 had also endometrial samples taken for microbial culture investigation. Correlation analysis (χ Results: A significant association of Conclusions: The presence of
