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

Uterine adenomyosis is a common disease in women of reproductive age that causes dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, and obstetric complications. Rarely, adenomyosis can lead to abscess formation, which is refractory to antibiotics and occasionally requires surgical treatment, such as hysterectomy. However, hysterectomy should be avoided in patients who seek to preserve fertility. Herein, for the first time, we report two cases of uterine adenomyosis with abscess formation during assisted reproductive procedures that were successfully treated with adenomyomectomy, thereby preserving fertility. A history of repeated intrauterine procedures and infections was crucial in making an appropriate preoperative diagnosis. Adenomyomectomy can be an effective treatment for adenomyosis associated with abscess in patients who wish to preserve fertility.
