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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the pregnancy outcomes of frozen embryo transfer (FET) in patients with persistent chronic endometritis (PCE).

methods186 patients were stratified into three groups: Cured CE (CCE), Cured Persistent CE (CPCE), and Still Persistent CE (SPCE). Only the first post-treatment FET cycle per patient was analyzed.

resultsAmong women aged 20-48, the biopsy-based prevalence of CE and PCE was 14.23% and 1.30%, respectively. The SPCE group underwent more antibiotic treatments and endometrial pathology examinations, with a higher proportion of GnRH-a + HRT cycles compared to the CCE and CPCE groups. Clinical pregnancy rates were 41.67%, 37.21%, and 52.17%, while live birth rates were 31.67%, 30.23%, and 43.48% for the CCE, CPCE, and SPCE groups, respectively. No statistically significant differences were observed among the groups. Multivariate analysis confirmed that AMH (aOR 1.135; 95% CI 1.005-1.282) and pre-transfer endometrial thickness (aOR 1.259; 95% CI 1.07-1.49) are significantly associated with clinical pregnancy.

conclusionOur exploratory findings suggest that PCE may not necessarily impair FET outcomes under individualized management. Ovarian reserve and endometrial thickness appeared to be more robust predictors of success than histologic persistence in this cohort. Due to the small PCE sample size, these results are hypothesis-generating and warrant validation in larger prospective trials.
