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 evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the sequential therapy in treating infertility with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and luteal phase defects (LPD) by Yangxin Dianji decoction (, YXDJ-D) and Nuangong Tiaojing decoction (, NGTJ-D).

methodsThis study was undertaken in the Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine. Altogether 90 eligible patients with PCOS and LPD were assigned to exposed group A (Chinese Medicine therapy, YXDJ-D and NGTJ-D), exposed group B (Chinese Medicine plus Western Medicine therapy), control group (Western Medicine therapy). The exposed group A adopted the sequential therapy that YXDJ-D is taken in the postmenstrual period (follicular phase) and NGTJ-D is taken in premenstrual period (luteal phase). Control group took letrozole, dydrogesterone and was given intramuscular injection of human menopausal gonadotropin, human chorionic gonadotropin. The exposed group B was treated with the above-mentioned therapy project of integrated Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine. This study lasted for 2 courses for 6 months. The primary outcomes were pregnancy rate and early abortion rate. The secondary outcomes were the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, estrogen (E

resultsThe pregnancy rates of the exposed group A and B were higher than the control group (60.00%

conclusionThe sequential therapy of YXDJ-D and NGTJ-D can effectively increase pregnancy rate, reduce the early abortion rate and alleviate the clinical symptoms of infertility in patients with PCOS and LPD by improving luteal function and promoting the endometrial receptivity.
