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: Hydrosalpinx, a fluid-filled blocked fallopian tube, is a major cause of infertility and is mainly linked to pelvic inflammatory disease. However, its connection to endometriosis, especially hidden tubal endometriosis without visible signs, is not well studied. This research aimed to find the prevalence of confirmed endometriosis in salpingectomy samples removed due to hydrosalpinx and to evaluate the subsequent reproductive outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional study involved 70 infertile women undergoing laparoscopic salpingectomy at a specialized center. We gathered demographic, surgical, and pathological information from medical records. The main outcome was the occurrence of endometriosis based on histopathology. The secondary outcome was the rate of clinical pregnancies (either spontaneous or through ART) after salpingectomy. We used SPSS v23.0 for statistical analysis, considering Results: The average age of participants was 37.38 ± 6.13 years. Clear histological evidence of endometriosis was found in 14.3% (10/70) of samples. Notably, 8% (4/50) of patients without a history of endometriosis had hidden tubal disease. The visual detection of endometriosis during laparoscopy was marginally significantly associated with a positive pathology (37.5% vs. 7.4%, Conclusion: Examining salpingectomy samples is essential for detecting endometriosis. Women with histologically confirmed tubal endometriosis may represent a subgroup with potentially poorer reproductive outcomes. However, this observation is exploratory and requires validation in larger studies with adequate adjustment for age, ovarian reserve, and ART-related factors.
