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

introductionFragile X premutations are associated with primary ovarian insufficiency when the patient presents with amenorrhea, but the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) CGG repeat count among cycling women with low ovarian reserve (diminished ovarian reserve [DOR]) is not yet established. PATIENTS AND

methodsSixty-two infertile DOR patients were recruited from 4 US private and academic fertility centers.

resultsThe prevalence of 35-44 FMR1 CGG repeats was 14.5%. Compared with the general female population estimate from the literature, infertile women with DOR were more likely to have 35-44 FMR1 CGG repeats (14.5% and 3.9%, respectively, P = .0003). Similar findings were noted by 5-repeat bandwidth: 35-39 CGG repeats (9.7% DOR vs 3.2% comparison, P = .012) or 40-44 CGG repeats (4.8% DOR vs 0.7% comparison, P = .024).

conclusionsThese data suggest that CGG repeats of 35-44 may be markedly overrepresented in women with DOR, whereas the current FMR1 reference range indicates that there is no clinical phenotype with <45 CGG repeats.
