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

backgroundTo explore whether serum and follicular fluid (FF), sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), and SIRT2 could predict the outcome of assisted reproduction.

methodsAll patients underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for the first time in the Reproductive Medicine Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College from March 2018 to December 2018. According to cumulative clinical pregnancy outcomes, the patients were divided into a pregnancy group and non-pregnancy group. We measured the serum levels of SIRT1, SIRT2, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2) from the second to the fifth day of menstruation, and the levels of SIRT1 and SIRT2 in serum and FF on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injection and oocyte retrieval.

resultsA total of 125 patients met the inclusion criteria. The pregnancy group comprised 56 cases and non-pregnancy group 69 cases. There were significant differences in basal level SIRT2 (bSIRT2), AMH, antral follicle count (AFC), number of oocytes obtained, number of mature eggs, number of fertilized eggs, number of excellent embryos, number of blastocyst formations, and number of transferred high-quality embryos between the two groups. The area under the curve (AUC) values of bSIRT2, AFC, AMH, and age were significantly different from those under the opportunity reference line (P<0.05). In the subsequent correlation analysis, FFSIRT2, and HCG day serum SIRT2 were negatively correlated with age (r=-0.35, r=-0.19), and positively correlated with AFC (r=0.2, r=0.02). Serum SIRT1 on HCG day was negatively correlated with the number of blastocysts and the number of frozen embryos (r=-0.18, r=-0.21). Levels of FF SIRT1 and FF SIRT2 were significantly lower than those in serum SIRT1 and SIRT2, and there was no significant difference in serum SIRT1 and SIRT2 before and after ovulation promotion.

conclusionsThe results suggest that bSIRT2 has significant statistical significance in predicting the cumulative number of pregnancies. When combined with AMH, AFC, and age, bSIRT2 can predict the cumulative pregnancy outcome. In addition, the level of serum SIRT1 and SIRT2 were not affected by ovulation promotion.
