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: Intra-abdominal hemorrhage (IAH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of ultrasound-guided transvanginal oocyte pick up (OPU). Despite the widespread use of OPU in assisted reproductive technology, minor hemorrhages may remain undetected without vigilant monitoring, potentially escalating to severe bleeding. This study aims to elucidate the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and management outcomes of IAH following OPU. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 25 hospitalized patients who developed IAH within 7 days post-OPU at a university-affiliated hospital between 2010 and 2021. Data on demographics, clinical presentations, laboratory findings, treatment modalities, and reproductive outcomes were systematically reviewed. Results: The incidence of IAH was 0.05% (95% CI, 0.03%-0.07%). Symptoms typically manifested within 12 hours post-OPU, with abdominal pain and distension being most common. Hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) reductions averaged 26.50±13.32 mg/dL and 7.70±3.66%, respectively. Seventeen patients were managed conservatively, while 8 required surgical intervention. Notably, 52% of patients achieved live births, with no adverse pregnancy outcomes linked to IAH. Conclusion: IAH is a rare but life-threatening OPU complication. Extended postoperative monitoring is critical for early diagnosis, with conservative management as the first-line approach.
