Efficacy of 4-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography and X-ray hysterosalpingography in infertility.

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
Objective: To assess and compare efficacy of 4-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (4D-HyCoSy) and X-ray hysterosalpingography (HSG) for fallopian tube examination. Methods: Clinical data of patients with suspected tubal infertility, who underwent examinations in Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital from September 2021 to December 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. Of them, 40 patients received laparoscopy and dye test+ 4D-HyCoSy (4D-HyCoSy group), and 36 patients received laparoscopy and dye test +HSG (HSG group). Results: The study included clinical data of 76 patients with a total of 149 fallopian tubes. Using laparoscopy and dye test observations as the gold standard, 4D-HyCoSy and X-HSG examinations identified 39 blocked tubes, 69 tubes with partial patency, and 41 tubes with patency. Compared with laparoscopy and dye test, the diagnostic concordance rate of 4D-HyCoSy was 70.51% (55/78), Kappa=0.546 ( Conclusions: While both 4D-HyCoSy and HSG have high efficacy in fallopian tube examination, and are similarly accurate in evaluating tubal blockage, 4D-HyCoSy is associated with lower incidence of pain, and reduced rate of adverse reactions.
