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

We reported 5 patients with unilateral or bilateral tubal discontinuity between the ampulla and fimbria, occasionally detected through laparoscopy combined with hysteroscopy at the Reproductive Hospital Affiliated with Shandong University from 2017 to 2023. Three cases were observed to have this malformation on the left fallopian tube, 1 case on the right side, and 1 case bilaterally. None of these cases were combined with urological malformations. After surgery, there was 1 instance of postoperative delivery, 1 ongoing pregnancy, and 3 not yet conceived. The congenital ampulla and fimbria interruption of the fallopian tube may be independent of other significant deformities of reproductive or renal tracts. However, it can lead to hydrosalpinx and primary or secondary infertility. Surgical management options, such as salpingostomy, salpingectomy, and tubal ligation, have shown the potential to improve pregnancy outcomes.
