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

Objective: To study the oncological safety and efficacy with regard to reproductive outcomes of controlled ovarian stimulation (OS) with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS). Design: Retrospective cohort study. Subjects: Patients presenting with complex endometrial hyperplasia or early-stage endometrial carcinoma (EC), managed with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system. Exposure: Controlled OS. Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome of the present study was to evaluate the oncological safety of controlled OS on disease progression, and the secondary outcome was to explore fertility outcomes in patients treated with LNG-IUS. Time-to-event outcomes were visualized as Kaplan-Meier plots and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Thirty-four patients, with a median age of 34 years (interquartile range [IQR], 30-38) and body mass index of 29.6 kg/m Conclusion: There may be an oncologically safe window of opportunity for fertility preservation and conception for patients on LNG-IUS diagnosed with early-stage EC, wishing to complete their family.
