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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesTo evaluate the outcomes of using in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI cycle) techniques in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) women and comparing them to women with tubal factor infertility. DESIGN AND SETTINGS: Retrospective cohort study in Royan Institute, Iran. PATIENTS AND

methodsData from 81 HH patients treated with IVF/ICSI in the period from early 2009 until the end of 2010 were analyzed and compared with treatment results from 89 patients with tubal factor infertility. Moreover, data from the HH patients were analyzed with respect to the age factor. P value < .05 was considered statistically significant. The main outcome measures were implantation, fertilization, pregnancy, and live birth rates.

resultsDespite a higher fertilization rate and higher number of grade A/B embryos transferred in the tubal factor group, the implantation, pregnancy, and live birth rates were found to be similar between the 2 groups (P=.3, P=.1, P=.1, respectively). When the HH patients were evaluated according to the age factor, no significant difference was found regarding outcome parameters (P=.2).

conclusionsHH women that were treated with IVF/ICSI cycles seem to have a sound potential for pregnancy, even in advanced age patients.
