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: Chronic endometritis (CE), characterized by CD138 Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 3,041 embryo transfer cycles (1,507 IVF-ET; 1,534 FET) from 1,401 infertile women treated at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Liuzhou Hospital, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center (2008-2023). Chronic endometritis (CE) was primarily defined as the presence of ≥1 CD138 Results: Untreated CE patients had comparable live birth and clinical pregnancy rates to non-CE patients in both IVF-ET (live birth 37.7% vs. 36.7%) and FET (39.0% vs. 37.9%), and were also associated with a lower observed miscarriage risk after IVF-ET (adjusted RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.46-0.97). Among CE patients, antibiotic treatment did not improve outcomes compared with no treatment (IVF-ET live birth 36.8% vs. 37.7%; FET 41.5% vs. 38.7%; all p > 0.05). Similarly, post-treatment "cured" and "persistent" CE groups showed no significant differences in live birth or miscarriage rates in either transfer type. Exploratory analyses revealed context-dependent trends, but most interactions were nonsignificant. Conclusion: In this large single-center cohort, CE defined by CD138
