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

Hysteroscopic metroplasty is widely regarded as the endpoint of septate uterus care, yet its impact on fertility remains uncertain and the postoperative cavity is seldom reassessed. Evidence on second-look hysteroscopy is equally scarce: mostly retrospective, rarely randomised, and not designed to isolate its reproductive effect. Re-inspection should arguably be reframed as an integral, fertility-oriented step rather than optional surveillance. Routine use in all patients is unjustified and not cost-effective, yet systematic omission may also overlook clinically relevant abnormalities. A selective, risk-stratified strategy is preferable, reserving it for the highest-risk women and triaging the rest with three-dimensional sonohysterography. Prospective, second-look-controlled trials are needed.
