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

objectiveThe use of frozen embryos in the treatment of infertility with assisted reproductive techniques has been increased. Different methods are used to prepare the endometrium for frozen embryo transfer (FET). The aim of this study was to compare pregnancy outcomes after treatment with tamoxifen and hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) in FET.

methodsThis randomized clinical trial was carried out with 214 infertile women in the infertility research center of Milad Hospital in Mashhad during 2018-2020. We had 84 patients receiving tamoxifen and 92 took HRT. Endometrial thickness (ET) and pregnancy outcome were measured in both groups.

resultsMean infertility duration (p=0.328), number of embryos (p=0.649), FSH (p=0.390), LH (p=0.051) and LH/FSH ratio (p=0.287) as well as type of infertility (primary or secondary) (p=0.295), causes of infertility (p=0.750) and pattern of menstruation (p=0.676) were not significantly different in the two groups. Mean ET in the TMX and HRT groups were 8.72±1.45mm and 9.00±1.69mm, respectively (p=0.423). There was no statistically significant difference between chemical pregnancy (p=0.663), clinical pregnancy (p=0.994) and ongoing pregnancy (p≥0.999) in the TMX and HRT groups.

conclusionsTreatment with tamoxifen can be as effective as GnRH agonist for endometrial preparation in FET.
