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

Objective: To investigate the effects of combining gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) downregulation with hormone replacement therapy (HRT, GnRHa-HRT) on the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Methods: In this retrospective study, we included patients who had FET between January 2018 and December 2022. They were categorized into HRT and GnRHa-HRT groups based on the endometrial preparation protocol. The study compared the clinical outcomes of patients in two groups. Possible factors affecting clinical outcomes were analyzed using univariate analysis. To analyze the impact of two endometrial preparation methods on clinical outcomes, multifactorial logistic regression was performed. Results: The rates of clinical pregnancy (47.31% vs. 59.60%), embryo implantation (37.58% vs. 49.65%), biochemical pregnancy (52.36% vs. 64.31%), and early abortion (7.07% vs. 10.77%) were statistically different between the two groups ( Conclusion: In FET cycles, leuprorelin (as a GnRHa) downregulation combined with HRT may improve the clinical outcome of patients compared to the HRT cycle, especially for the clinical pregnancy and embryo implantation rates of patients with blastocyst transfer.
