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

backgroundEndometriosis (EMS) and chronic endometritis (CE) frequently coexist. This study aimed to examine the impact of CE on reproductive outcomes in patients with EMS.

methodsWe enrolled 685 patients with endometriosis-associated infertility from January 2018 to December 2020. The patients were divided into CE (318) and non-CE (367) groups. A subset of 123 clinically pregnant women from the CE group and 369 from the non-CE group was selected for detailed comparison. Pregnancy and delivery data were meticulously collected from hospital records and through telephone interviews.

resultsCE was diagnosed in 46.42% of EMS patients. Higher pregnancy rates were observed in patients with Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) scores of 7-10. EMS patients with CE had increased risks of placenta previa (13.01%), gestational hypertension (5.69%), and cesarean sections (59.34%).

conclusionsCE, which is prevalent among EMS patients, is linked to increased risks of pregnancy complications, including placenta previa, gestational hypertension, and cesarean delivery. Although combined hysteroscopy and laparoscopy improve pregnancy rates, they demand careful management of these complications.
