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

backgroundMetabolic syndrome is common among infertile women and is closely related to insulin resistance (IR). Triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG BMI) is a newly explored indicator of IR. Currently, the association between TyG BMI and live birth outcomes has been studied in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), However, there is a lack of research on the general population of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET).

methodsThis is a cohort study based on data from a reproductive center in China from January 2016 to December 2023. The association between TyG BMI and live birth outcomes in women with clinical pregnancy after FET was evaluated using generalized additive model(GAM) and threshold saturation effect analysis.

resultsA total of 3,709 cycles resulted in clinical pregnancy after FET, with a mean age of 32.76 ± 3.99 years. Among these, 2860 cycles (77.11%) resulted in live births, with a mean age of 32.46 ± 3.81 years. After adjusting for confounding factors, TyG BMI was negatively correlated with live birth outcomes (OR = 0.994, 95% CI: 0.992, 0.996; p < 0.001). GAM analysis showed that the smooth term of TyG BMI was significant (p < 0.001), indicating a nonlinear relationship. Threshold effect analysis identified a breakpoint (K) of 176.849 (95% CI: 168.097, 186.702). When TyG BMI was below 176.849, The increase in the live birth rate was not significant, but when TyG BMI exceeded 176.849, for each additional unit, the chance of a live birth decreases by approximately 0.8% (OR = 0.992, p < 0.001).

conclusionOur findings suggest that a higher TyG BMI is negatively associated with live birth outcomes in women with clinical pregnancy after FET. Further research is needed to validate these findings.
