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

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) remains a cornerstone investigation in the assessment of female infertility. Although generally safe, rare complications such as venous intravasation may occur and can result in diagnostic misinterpretation or systemic adverse events. We present a case of level 3 venous intravasation during hysterosalpingography (HSG) in a 26-year-old woman evaluated for primary infertility. Fluoroscopic imaging demonstrated rapid opacification of the parauterine and gonadal venous systems. The procedure was promptly terminated, and the patient remained asymptomatic. This case highlights the characteristic imaging features, clinical relevance, and preventive strategies associated with venous intravasation, underscoring the importance of real-time recognition to ensure diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.
