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

Endometrial scratching is intentional injury of the endometrium intended to improve the reproductive outcomes of infertile women who seek pregnancy. In recent years, several randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses of trials have been published, reporting controversial results. Some authors have recommended against endometrial scratching in clinical practice, while others have recommended its application to specific categories of patients. This article aimed to provide a critical analysis of the old and new available evidence, to assist physicians interpreting the published data, and to generate insights for future research on the topic.
