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

A 30-year-old woman presented with infertility and irregular menstruation. Physical examination revealed obesity and slightly pale conjunctivae. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed polycystic ovary, bilateral hydrosalpinx, and endometrial thickening. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis showed several large cystic lesions and elongated fallopian tubes. An endometrial biopsy was performed to investigate the endometrial thickening. Pathological findings included small non-caseating epithelioid cell granulomas with scattered plasma cell infiltration. The microbiological analysis of the endometrial biopsy sample showed a negative result for Ziehl-Neelsen staining; however, after four weeks, the Mycobacterium culture was positive for
