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

Purpose: This study aimed to assess whether different endometrial preparation regimens-natural cycle (NC), hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist pretreatment followed by HRT (GnRH-a + HRT)-are associated with differences in reproductive and perinatal outcomes among women with diminished ovarian reserve undergoing frozen embryo transfer (FET), and to evaluate whether age (<35 vs ≥35 years) modifies these associations. Patients and Methods: A total of 4629 women with DOR, defined as anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) <1.2 ng/mL and/or antral follicle count (AFC) <5, undergoing their first autologous FET between 2016 and 2024. Endometrial preparation protocols included natural cycle (NC), hormone replacement therapy (HRT), or gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) pretreatment followed by HRT. Propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) were applied to adjust for baseline differences. Results: GnRH-a pretreatment before HRT was associated with improved live birth and clinical pregnancy compared with HRT alone, particularly among older women. No significant differences were observed between natural cycle and HRT. Perinatal outcomes among singleton live births were generally comparable across protocols. Conclusion: GnRH-a pretreatment before HRT may be beneficial for women with diminished ovarian reserve undergoing FET, particularly in those of advanced maternal age.
