Successful Pregnancy in a PCOS Patient with Elevated Basal Luteinizing Hormone and Repeated Ovulation Induction Failures: A Case Report.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial endocrine disorder characterized by chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology, leading to infertility. Elevated basal luteinizing hormone (bLH) levels in PCOS can impede the efficacy of ovulation induction (OI). This case report explores the management of a 26-year-old woman with PCOS and high bLH levels who experienced repeated failure in OI attempts. During in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatments, she underwent two cycles of controlled ovarian stimulation using long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist and GnRH antagonist protocols respectively, both of which failed due to inadequate ovarian response despite normal bLH levels on the day of gonadotropin initiation. In the third cycle, a progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol combined with letrozole was adopted without bLH pretreatment, resulting in a successful pregnancy and healthy child after frozen-thawed embryo transfer. This case highlights the need for tailored approaches in managing PCOS patients with high bLH levels and indicates that elevated bLH may not always impair IVF outcomes. Further research is needed to establish the optimal bLH threshold and management protocols to enhance reproductive outcomes for these patients.
