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

This study investigated differences in reproductive outcomes and vaginal microbiota profiles between two endometrial preparation protocols-letrozole (LE) combined with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) pretreatment-in women with endometriosis undergoing frozen embryo transfer (FET). Following 1∶1 propensity score matching, a total of 770 FET cycles were analyzed. No statistically significant differences were observed in live birth rates or clinical pregnancy rates between the two groups. However, the LE + HMG group showed a nonsignificant trend toward a lower miscarriage rate (13.7%
