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

Endometrial osseous metaplasia is a rare entity encountered in the reproductive age group characterized by the presence of mature bone within the endometrium. Most of the cases are associated with secondary infertility, with a past history of abortion or chronic endometritis. Various hypotheses, such as chronic inflammation, dystrophic calcification, and residual embryonic tissue, have been proposed for the etiopathogenesis. Hysteroscopic removal of the osseous tissue leads to the restoration of normal endometrial function and can potentially resolve infertility. We present a case of a 36-year-old female presenting with abdominal pain. Ultrasonography was suggestive of dystrophic calcification in the endometrium. Bony fragments, along with endometrial curettage material, were removed by hysteroscopy. Histopathology revealed proliferative endometrial glands and stroma admixed with fragments of mature bony trabeculae. A diagnosis of endometrial osseous metaplasia was confirmed. This case report highlights the importance of correctly diagnosing this rare condition on histopathology and differentiating it from other mimics to guide appropriate treatment.
