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

purposeSuccessful embryo implantation depends on trophoblast proliferation, migration and, lastly, invasion of the endometrium (to anchor the trophoblast to the uterus). This invasion is mediated by locally produced soluble factors. Of these, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the best characterized regulator of angiogenesis. Here, we investigate the association between the VEGF + 405 C/G genotype and the recurrence of embryo implantation failure in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) program with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

methodsForty women with recurrent implantation failure defined by absence of pregnancy after transfer of more than 10 embryos and 131 women control, with at least one live birth after the transfer of fewer than 10 embryos were included. Genomic DNA was analysed with an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction and a Chi-2 test was used to compare the respective VEGF + 405 C/G genotype frequencies in cases and controls.

resultsThe frequency of the VEGF +405C/C genotype was higher in women with recurrent implantation failure after ICSI-embryo transfer than in controls (17.5 % and 5.3 %, respectively, p = 0.01).

conclusionThe VEGF +405 G/C polymorphism may influence embryo implantation and VEGF + 405 C/C genotype may predispose to recurrent implantation failure after ICSI-ET.
