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: Successful pregnancy is associated with a predominant Th2 cytokine profile, and Th1 cytokines are detrimental to pregnancy. The cytokine profile expressed by endometrium may be change by chorionic gonadotropin treatment (hCG), which affect uterine natural killer cell, Objective: To evaluate the role of intrauterine hCG infusion at day of ovum pickup on immunological marker of endometrium and on pregnancy rate in patients undergoing ICSI cycle. Patients and Method: Comparative study intended in Al-Nahrain University. Ninety infertile women included. Written informed consent was obtained before being included in the study. Three groups of patients were included according to the type of intervention. Assessment of plasma hormone level was done for all. The quantification of serum TNF and IL-10 levels was conducted through the application of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methodology at a privately owned laboratory. Result: Significantly lower level of TNF and TNF/IL-10 ratio in group A than that in groups B and C ( Conclusion: Intrauterine infusion of 700 IU of hCG can improve the pregnancy rate in patients undergoing ICSI cycle by modulating the immune balance (Th1/Th2) of the endometrium.
