Clinical Value of Negative-Pressure Endometrial Sampling Technique in Screening Endometrial Tuberculosis.

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.
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 Tuberculosis remains a global health issue, with 25% of the population carrying latent infection and 5-10% at risk of active disease. In 2021, 10.6 million people were affected and 1.6 million died. While pulmonary TB is most common, extrapulmonary cases are rising. Female genital TB accounts for 5-30% of infertility worldwide. Endometrial TB often begins asymptomatically but can cause menstrual disorders, pelvic pain, and infertility. This study evaluated the clinical value of negative-pressure endometrial sampling in screening endometrial TB. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty-four patients suspected of having endometrial TB (April 2021-April 2023) were enrolled and divided into a negative-pressure aspiration group (n=48) and a fractional curettage group (n=36). Sampling pain (FRS score), time, satisfaction, diagnostic efficiency, and safety were compared. RESULTS The negative-pressure aspiration group had a significantly lower FRS score and a significantly shorter sampling time than the fractional curettage group (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the distribution of populations with different satisfaction between the 2 groups (P<0.05). Through comparison with the pathological examination results of surgical samples which were set as the criterion standard, the kappa value was 0.692 in the negative-pressure aspiration group, higher than that in the fractional curettage group (0.667). The negative-pressure aspiration group had significantly higher sensitivity and significantly lower specificity compared with the fractional curettage group (89.66% vs 80.00%, P<0.05, 78.95% vs 87.50%, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS During the screening of endometrial tuberculosis, negative-pressure endometrial sampling technology has a high sensitivity, can reduce the pain sensation during sampling and sampling time, and can improve patient satisfaction with sampling.
