Impact of interval after fresh cycle cancellation on first frozen embryo transfer outcomes.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2026. 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
Background: Frozen embryo transfer (FET) has become an integral component of assisted reproductive technology (ART), particularly after cancellation of fresh embryo transfer cycles. However, the optimal timing of FET after fresh cycle cancellation remains unclear, with conflicting evidence as to whether shorter or longer intervals are associated with better pregnancy outcomes. Previous studies have largely overlooked age-specific effects, despite established differences in endometrial receptivity and ovarian reserve between younger and older women. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the interval from oocyte retrieval to FET and reproductive outcomes after fresh cycle cancellation, stratified by maternal age, to provide evidence-based guidance for clinical decision-making. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included women undergoing their first FET after cancellation of fresh embryo transfer following Results: A total of 1,837 women were included. Among women aged <35 years, longer intervals to FET (3-6 months and ≥6 months) were associated with lower odds of clinical pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.57-1.05 and 0.69; 95% CI, 0.47-1.00, respectively) and live birth (AOR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.54-0.95 and 0.71; 95% CI, 0.50-1.02, respectively) compared with an interval of ≤3 months. Among women aged 35-40 years, an interval of ≥6 months was associated with a significantly increased risk of clinical pregnancy loss (AOR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.10-3.96). Conclusions: In women younger than 35 years, undergoing FET within 3 months after fresh cycle cancellation may be associated with more favorable reproductive outcomes. In women aged 35-40 years, delaying FET for ≥6 months may be associated with an increased risk of clinical pregnancy loss. These findings support an age-stratified approach to FET timing after fresh cycle cancellation.
