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

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder that often leads to infertility and presents a complex challenge in its diagnosis and management. This report describes a case history of a 38-year-old woman suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and primary infertility who became pregnant after the initiation of tofacitinib treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Her disease activity was well-controlled, and she became pregnant six months after the initiation of tofacitinib. We could not find any earlier reports of pregnancy in humans following tofacitinib treatment for endometriosis-related infertility in the literature. This observation suggests a potential link between the JAK pathway, inflammation associated with endometriosis and fertility. Although promising, cautious exploration of the possibility with large controlled studies are essential to validate these findings and assess the safety and efficacy of JAK inhibitors in endometriosis treatment.
