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: Effective individualized tools to predict cumulative live birth rates are lacking for patients with ovarian endometriomas undergoing Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of 194 patients with ovarian endometriosis who underwent ethanol sclerotherapy followed by Results: A total of 194 patients were included, with an overall cumulative live birth rate of 50.0% (97/194). Multivariate regression analysis identified four independent predictors of the cumulative live birth rate: previous live birth history, controlled ovarian hyperstimulation protocol, number of oocytes retrieved, and cyst diameter. The nomogram constructed using these variables exhibited good discriminatory ability in both the training and validation cohorts, with areas under the curve of 0.849 (95% Confidence Interval: 0.782-0.912) and 0.853 (95% Confidence Interval: 0.754-0.952), respectively. Bootstrap validation (500 iterations) confirmed the stability of the model. Calibration was acceptable (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, P>0.05), and decision curve analysis indicated a favorable net benefit across a threshold probability range of 10-50%, demonstrating its clinical utility. Conclusions: This study developed and validated a parsimonious nomogram model that accurately predicts the cumulative live birth rate in patients with ovarian endometriosis undergoing
