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

Hysteroscopy has truly revolutionized the field of diagnostic and operative gynecology. It is presently regarded as the gold standard method for both the diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine diseases and it has fundamentally altered the way gynecologists treat patients with such conditions. These pathologies can now be diagnosed and treated in an outpatient setting, thanks to technological advancements and instrument downsizing. Two hundred years of development and notable innovation are now reflected in the present hysteroscopic practice. This review attempts to trace the boundaries-pushing history of hysteroscopy by highlighting the advancements in technology and the therapeutic and diagnostic benefits offered by this groundbreaking approach.
