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

The current knowledge on adenomyosis as a risk factor for RPL is very scant. Overall 120 women were included in this retrospective observational study. They were divided in three groups each of which consisted of 40 subjects: Group 1: women with RPL who were diagnosed to have adenomyosis on transvaginal ultrasound (TVS); Group 2: patients with RPL without ultrasonographic findings of adenomyosis; Group 3: patients with ultrasound diagnosis of adenomyosis without RPL and at least one live birth pregnancy. The copresence of endometriosis was also investigated. Among women with RPL, patients with adenomyosis (Group 1) had higher number of pregnancy losses (p = 0.03) and lower age at first pregnancy loss (p = 0.03) than women without adenomyosis (Group 2). Moreover, they had more frequently primary RPL (p = 0.008). Adenomyosis of the inner myometrium was found more frequently (p = 0.04) in patients of Group 1 than in patients of Group 3 in which adenomyosis was mainly in the outer myometrium (p= 0.02). No differences were found in the severity of adenomyosis between these two groups of women. TVS findings for endometriosis were observed more frequently in women with adenomyosis without RPL (Group 3) than in the other two groups of patients. Adenomyosis can be a factor involved in RPL. Differences in adenomyosis localization are associated with different risks for RPL. Patients with RPL should be investigated for the presence of adenomyosis and also for the type and localization of the disease in the different myometrial layers.
