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

Background and Purpose: Fungal endometritis, an uncommon yet severe condition affecting the uterine lining, typically manifests with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), pelvic discomfort, and vaginal discharge. This investigation aimed to present a pioneering study focused on fungal endometritis in women presenting with these clinical symptoms. Materials and Methods: A cohort of 43 female patients experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding was comprehensively evaluated at Babol University of Medical Sciences in Babol, Iran, between March 21, 2023, and March 19, 2024. Diagnostic procedures encompassed ultrasound imaging, a range of laboratory tests, hysteroscopy for direct visualization and tissue sampling, microscopic examination, fungal culture with subsequent colony count, and polymerase chain reaction for enhanced accuracy in fungal identification. Additionally, drug susceptibility patterns were assessed for all isolated fungal species. Results: Among the 43 patients, five (11.62%) received a definitive diagnosis of fungal endometritis. The identified species included two isolates of Conclusion: This study highlighted the critical importance of prompt evaluation and precise diagnosis, including comprehensive antifungal susceptibility testing, in individuals presenting with acute endometritis and AUB. Such rigorous considerations are essential for guiding clinical management and mitigating the risk of adverse outcomes, particularly given the increasing antifungal resistance and the emergence of non-
