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

objectivesTo evaluate direct cost of in-vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycle and reproductive outcomes among infertile women with different body mass index (BMI).

methodsA retrospective study of 826 subfertility patients who had IVF or IVF-ICSI in 2017 to 2018 were reviewed. The patients were divided into 4 groups bestowing to BMI to normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m

resultsThere was no statistical significant difference for live birth rate (LBR) among the BMI groups, with the occurrence of LBR in 23 women with normal BMI (13.1%), in 48 (14.2%) women who were overweight, in 48 (16%) in women who were obese (

conclusionOur results suggest that costs of IVF/IVF-ICSI is not significantly affected in women who are overweight or obese.
