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

objectiveTo explore the characteristics of pregnancy outcomes in patients with early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) and endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH) after successful fertility-sparing treatment.

methodsThis was a retrospective, single-center analysis of 481 patients with EEC/EAH who desired to conceive after successful fertility-sparing treatment from January 2015 to June 2023. Pregnancy outcomes across reproductive methods were compared.

resultsThe pregnancy rate was 58.24% and the live birth rate was 48.65% in patients with EAH/EEC after successful fertility-preserving treatment. An age ≥35 years, BMI ≥25 kg/m², and hypertension were independent risk factors for failure of pregnancy. Higher pregnancy (65.77% and 63.64%) and live birth (53.08% and 48.86%) rates were achieved in the in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and ovulation induction group than in the natural conception group (47.68% and 35.10%, respectively). The incidence of threatened abortion (56.52%), cervical insufficiency (5.58%), and placenta accrete/increta (11.15%) appeared to be numerically higher in patients with EAH/EEC than in epidemiological data. More than 5 times of hysteroscopic evaluation was an independent risk factor for placenta accreta/increta.

conclusionAssisted reproductive technology including IVF-ET and ovulation induction might be preferred for patients with EEC/EAH after successful fertility-sparing treatment to achieve a relatively better pregnancy outcome, though IVF-ET has a higher incidence risk of threatened abortion, preterm birth and placenta accreta/increta. Obstetricians should be prepared for the treatment of threatened abortion, cervical insufficiency, and placenta accreta/increta in patients with EEC/EAH once they become pregnant, especially in those receiving more than 5 times of hysteroscopic evaluation.
