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: To summarize assisted reproductive technology (ART) data for 2023 collected through the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology registry. Methods and Results: 625 out of 638 registered ART facilities took part in the study, documenting 561 664 treatment cycles and 85 048 newborns (+3.3% and +10.2% increases from 2022). The average age of women undergoing treatment was 37.3 years (standard deviation: 4.8); 205 986 cycles (36.7%) involved women aged ≥ 40 years. Among fresh cycles, oocyte retrieval was performed in 281 665 cycles, including 168 343 freeze-all cycles (59.8%). A total of 2329 pregnancies and 3375 newborns resulted from in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles, yielding 1772 and 2502 newborns, respectively. The overall rates for single embryo transfer (SET) and singleton delivery were 80.5% and 96.5%. Frozen-thawed embryo transfer accounted for 271 361 cycles, resulting in 109 850 pregnancies and 80 774 newborns, with a SET rate of 84.7% and a singleton delivery rate of 96.3%. Conclusions: In 2023, the second year of insurance coverage, the registry recorded the highest numbers of treatment cycles and newborns. Effective registry systems planned for 2026 will enable comprehensive evaluation of emerging trends in Japanese ART practice.
