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

purposeTo examine assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes in patients with congenital complex uterine anomalies (CUA) as well as the impact of surgical repair on these outcomes.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed 46 patients with CUA who underwent 130 embryo transfer cycles at a large academic fertility center from 2000 to 2024. Outcomes were compared between patients who underwent surgical repair and those who did not.

resultsThe overall live birth and ongoing pregnancy rate after fresh or frozen embryo transfer was 36.9% (48/130). Cesarean section was the most common mode of delivery (61.7%). Pregnancy complications occurred in 38.3% of live births. Live birth and ongoing pregnancy rates did not differ significantly between patients with and without surgical repair (32.6% vs. 39.2%, p = 0.57).

conclusionsPatients with complex uterine anomalies experience lower live birth rates compared to the center's average and face a high risk of pregnancy complications. Surgical repair of CUA does not significantly improve ART outcomes. Personalized counseling regarding goals and risks is crucial for CUA patients undergoing ART.
