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

Tubal abnormalities were evaluated on hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (HyCoSy) using sodium alginate solution as a contrast agent in 18 repeat breeder cattle. Clear contrast enhancement was observed from the uterine horn to the tubal infundibulum in the patent cases, and the percentage of cases with unilateral or bilateral passage disorder was 64.7%. The post-examination artificial insemination conception rate when ovulatory follicles were present on the patent side was 64.3%, which was significantly higher than 12.5% seen when ovulatory follicles were present on the side affected by passage disorder (P < 0.05). The polymorphonuclear leukocyte percentage in the recovered contrast agent was significantly higher on the passage disorder side than on the patent side, whereas there was no significant difference in C-reactive protein concentrations between the patent and passage disorder sides. The present method can be used for diagnosing tubal abnormalities, and chronic inflammatory changes may be related to tubal passage disorder.
