Impact of unilateral and bilateral salpingectomy on ovarian reserve.
Article in JBRA assisted reproduction, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectiveSalpingectomy has been one of the most performed surgical procedures in gynecological practice worldwide. Common indications include ectopic pregnancy and salpingitis (for example symptomatic hydro or pyosalpinx). This rising trend in salpingectomy has been associated with a rising concern over its potentially damaging effect on ovarian reserve due to possible concomitant damage of ovarian blood supply given the proximity of tubal and ovarian arteries.
methodsThis is a prospective cohort Study including eighty cases of infertile women with a previous unilateral or bilateral hydro salpinx and indicated for salpingectomy or tubal ligation attending the outpatient clinic at assisted reproduction unit, Al-Azhar University. The results were obtained in the period from February 2020 to December 2022.
resultsThe present study was conducted on 80 patients. The mean and (SD) values for age were 25.5 (5.2) years old with a minimum of 18 and a maximum of 34 years old. More than half of patients (58.8%) had bilateral Hydrosalpinx while 41.2% had unilateral hydrosalpinx. Whether preor post-operatively, there was no statistically significant difference between median number of antral follicles in patients with unilateral and bilateral hydrosalpinx. There was no statistically significant change in the mean of AMH levels post-operatively (p-value=0.147, effect size=0.035) in both unilateral and bilateral groups. There was no statistically significant change in median number of Antral follicles post-operatively (p-value=0.456, Effect size=0.167) in both unilateral and bilateral groups.
conclusionsThe unilateral and bilateral salpingectomy in patients with normal ovaries has no detrimental effect on ovarian reserve.
