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

purposeThe objective of this study was to investigate the cumulative pregnancy, cumulative live birth, and perinatal and obstetric outcomes of individuals in the POSEIDON group, with the aim of enhancing the management of individuals receiving assisted reproductive technology (ART) who have characteristics associated with a poor prognosis.

methodsIn this study, 19,371 patients with infertility who underwent their first IVF/ICSI cycle at the Tongji Hospital from January 2016 to December 2021 were enrolled. The population was divided into 4 Poseidon subgroups (PG1-PG4) and a non-Poseidon (non-PG) group based on the POSEIDON criteria. The stratification is based on ovarian reserve and ovarian response to stimulation, with the goal of tailoring individualized stimulation strategies.

resultsThe cumulative clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) gradually decreased from non-PG patients to PG 1-4 patients, with rates of 84.6%, 72.5%, 54.7%, 51.7%, and 30.7%, respectively. The cumulative live-birth rate (CLBR) was highest in non-PG patients, followed by PG1 patients, PG3 patients, PG2 patients, and PG4 patients, with rates of 81.0%, 67.0%, 45.3%, 45.2%, and 22.9%, respectively (p < 0.001). Additionally, the PG patients did not differ from the non-PG patients in terms of perinatal and birth outcomes, except for a decrease in gestational age and birth weight and an increase in the rate of preterm births, gestational diabetes, and cesarean section.

conclusionsMaternal age was the primary factor affecting pregnancy outcome. The younger subgroups (PG1, PG3) presented an acceptable CLBR (> 50%) and were not associated with an increased risk of abnormal perinatal outcomes.
