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
objectivePatients with Asherman's Syndrome (AS) and an endometrial thickness (EMT) less than 7 mm are infertile women with suboptimal endometrium due to uterine scarring or endometrial atrophy. This study aimed to examine the effect of intrauterine injections of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSC) from the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue on EMT and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes: which are improvements in EMT and pregnancy rates.
methodsThis double-arm retrospective study included 41 AS patients with hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. Twenty-one patients with AS refractory endometrium (Group 2) were given ADMSC to improve EMT, and 20 non-treated, age-matched patients served as controls (Group 1). For Group 2, SVF was isolated from 15 ml of adipose tissue and transmyometrial injected into the patient's uterine cavity. For all patients, EMT was examined using ultrasound before embryo transfer.
resultsIn Group 2, after ADMSC treatment, EMT significantly improved (3.2 ± 1.8 mm, P<0.001). Afterward, three patients spontaneously became pregnant, and eighteen underwent frozen embryo transfer. A significant increase in implantation (66.7% vs. 4.8%, P = 0.002) and live birth rates (0.0% vs. 47.6%, P = 0.001) were recorded. No significant difference was observed in EMT, cycle implantation, or clinical pregnancy between the two groups, but the live birth rate in Group 2 after ADMSC treatment was higher than in Group 1.
conclusionThe results demonstrate that autologous intrauterine ADMSC injection can improve EMT, implantation, and pregnancy rates in AS patients with refractory endometrium. This research underscores the life-changing potential of autologous ADMSC treatment for patients with refractory endometrium, providing a promising avenue for future treatments.
