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

Saline infusion sonohysterography/hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography is commonly used in the work-up of infertility. Overall, pelvic infection following these investigations is rare, but risk may be increased in patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis. Antibiotic prophylaxis is not professionally recommended in patients with advanced endometriosis, a point that requires reconsideration. A 29-year-old woman with stage IV endometriosis presented with pelvic inflammatory disease and sepsis following a saline hysterosalpingo-contrast sonogram for investigation of infertility. Her infection was resistant to antibiotic treatment and she required extensive surgical intervention for source control, which impacted her fertility. The immunodeficient pelvic microenvironment in patients with endometriosis and endometrioma can increase the risk and severity of pelvic infection. Antibiotic prophylaxis should always be utilized in those with stage IV endometriosis who are due to undergo saline infusion sonohysterography or hysterosalpingo-sonography.
