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

Background: Chronic endometritis (CE) has been widely recognized as a potential cause of infertility, however, access to effective treatment is a formidable challenge due to the rudimentary understanding of the pathogenesis of persistent CE. Here, we aimed to analyze the impact of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment on pregnancy outcomes and the endometrial microenvironment in patients with persistent CE. Methods: A total of 89 infertility patients were selected, including 56 non-CE (as the control group) and 33 persistent CE. The persistent CE patients received an intrauterine infusion of PRP four times before embryo transfer. Immunohistochemistry staining and transcriptomic sequencing were used to investigate the uterine-specific role of PRP in patients with persistent CE. Results: The implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate were significantly increased in the cured CE group compared to the non-cured CE group. After PRP treatment, the proportions of endometrial CD8 Conclusions: Autologous PRP treatment has been shown as a potentially successful therapy for improving pregnancy outcomes by reconstructing the uterine local immune microenvironment to improve endometrial receptivity in patients with persistent CE.
