Effect of hysteroscopic septum resection on IVF/ICSI outcomes in women with septate uterus: a propensity-score retrospective matching study.
Article in Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHysteroscopic septum resection has been a widespread technique throughout the world in women with a septate uterus. The effectiveness of hysteroscopic septum resection before IVF was equivocal. This study aimed to investigate whether hysteroscopic septum resection could improve IVF outcomes for women with a septate uterus.
methodsThis retrospective case-control study was carried out from January 2017 to December 2022. We included subfertile women with septate uterus (n = 147), including 113 women undergoing hysteroscopic septum resection and 34 women opting for expectant management before IVF/ICSI. In addition, we selected 147 women with normal uteri using propensity score matching (PSM). The clinical outcomes of IVF/ICSI were compared by logistic regression and Cox proportional regression in each group.
resultsDuring follow-up time, clinical pregnancy occurred in 66 women who underwent hysteroscopic septum resection (58.41%), compared to 23 women opting for expectant management (67.65%, OR 1.783, 95% CI 0.725-4.380) and 87 women with normal uteri (59.18%, OR 2.601, 95% CI 1.202-5.631). Miscarriage occurred in 12 women who underwent hysteroscopic septum resection (18.18%) versus 5 women who had expectant management (21.74%, OR 1.098, 95% CI 0.323-3.734) and 8 women with normal uteri (9.20%, OR 0.278, 95% CI 0.078-0.997), while preterm birth occurred in 7 women who underwent hysteroscopic septum resection (10.61%) versus 1 women who had expectant management (4.35%, OR 0.509, 95% CI 0.056-4.666) and 9 women with normal uteri (10.34%, OR 1.472, 95% CI 0.291-7.447). Live birth occurred in 54 women following hysteroscopic septum resection (47.79%) compared to 18 women following expectant management (52.94%, OR 1.368, 95% CI 0.589-3.175) and 78 women with normal uteri (53.06%, OR 1.641, 95% CI 0.941-2.864).
conclusionsWomen who underwent hysteroscopic septum resection had lower clinical pregnancy rate and higher risk of miscarriage compared to those with normal uteri, but there was no significant difference in live birth rate between the groups.
