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

backgroundT-shaped uterus is a subclass of dysmorphic uteri according to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) classification. A T-shaped uterus might be related to poor reproductive outcomes or pregnancy complications. We aim to compare the success rates of MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective cohort study was done in Royan Institute, Iran, in April 2020-April 2021. In line with the criteria for inclusion and exclusion, 468 cases were selected. Inclusion criteria were as follow: women of 20-45 years old, primary infertility, no repeated implantation failure (RIF), embryo quality "grade A" or "grade B" (freeze), and no consumption of smoking or alcohol. Patients with uterine fibroid, polyp, metabolic disorders, previous uterine surgery were excluded. Based on the hysterosalpingography (HSG) images, the patients were categorized as: "T-shaped uterus" or "normal uterus". IVF outcomes including positive or negative chemical pregnancy were entered into SPSS software. Using the Chi-square test, the success rate of IVF in those groups was compared.

resultsOf 468 cases, 91 cases had T-shaped uterus and 377 cases had normal uterus. The mean age of patients was 34 ± 3. The frequency of positive chemical pregnancy in the T-shaped uterus group was 42.9%, but 48% in the normal uterus group. The distribution of positive clinical pregnancy was 34.06% in the T-shaped uterus group and 46.1% in the normal uterus group. The distribution of failed pregnancies was 20.5% in women with T-shaped uteri and 19.8% in the normal uterus group (P=0.867). There was no significant difference observed between the two groups.

conclusionThe success rate of IVF and pregnancy outcomes of patients in the T-shape and normal groups were not found to be statistically significantly different.
