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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the role of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol as a key parameter in improving pregnancy outcomes after assisted reproductive technology treatments in women with diabetes mellitus.

objectiveTo investigate the relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and pregnancy outcomes after assisted reproductive technology treatments in women with diabetes and infertility. STUDY

design474 female patients diagnosed with diabetes were included in this study. The patients were divided into the high LDL-C group (≥3 mmol/L) and the low LDL-C group (<3 mmol/L). According to the protocol of ovarian stimulation, the clinical characteristics in ART cycles and pregnancy outcomes were compared separately. The data were analyzed after propensity score matching.

resultsIn the GnRH antagonist protocol group, there were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the high- and low-LDL-C groups. Nevertheless, ART treatment characteristics and pregnancy outcomes did not differ significantly between the 2 groups (

conclusionThis study demonstrates that in infertile women with diabetes mellitus undergoing ART, elevated pretreatment LDL-C is a significant and modifiable marker associated with an increased risk of early miscarriage and a reduced live birth rate. The impact of LDL-C varies by ovarian stimulation protocol. These findings underscore the importance of integrating preconception lipid management into the clinical pathway and adopting a protocol-specific risk assessment to optimize pregnancy outcomes.
