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: The introduction of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) has diminished the role of surgery in female factor tubal infertility. The assessment of tubal patency is part of the routine tests taken for the evaluation of infertile couples. Laparoscopy with chromopertubation is still the gold standard test for the evaluation of tubal patency. Case Presentation: In this article, a rare case of a mature cystic tubal teratoma was diagnosed laparoscopically as part of an infertility workup. An attempt was made to emphasize the importance of laparoscopy in the diagnosis and management of rare fallopian tube entities that may have an impact on female reproductive health. A literature search to find any prior similar cases was conducted using PubMed database. The search terms employed were tubal factor infertility, tubal teratoma, diagnosis, laparoscopy, in vitro fertilization (IVF), and hysterosalpingography (HSG). A total of 4 cases of mature cystic teratomas of the fallopian tube diagnosed laparoscopically as part of infertility workup were reviewed showing that laparoscopic surgery still has a major role in diagnosis and treatment of female infertility. Conclusion: Tubal teratoma is a rare finding in patients undergoing infertility workup. It is important to highlight the benefits of laparoscopy in confirming the tubal patency test results in patients showing no intraperitoneal spillage of contrast media on hysterosalpingography test. Laparoscopy helps visualize the tubes better aiming to diagnose entities that are difficult to diagnose with hysterosalpingography or ultrasound, while simultaneously providing an opportunity for treatment.
