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

purposeThe aim of this study was to determine whether in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes are associated with inherited thrombophilias.

methodsSeveral databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were retrieved up to 12 January 2016. The quality of the included studies was assessed by two authors. The associations of the following mutations in inherited thrombophilias and IVF outcomes were explored: factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin gene G20210A mutation (PGM), 5,10-methylentetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T, MTHFR (A1298C) and activated protein C resistance (APCR). The main outcome measures included CPR and implantation rate (IR). The relative risk (RR) and its 95 % confidence interval (CI) were calculated for effect index. Heterogeneity test was evaluated by Chi-square based on Q statistic and I (2) statistics.

resultsA total of seven articles published between 2007 and 2015 with the ages of subjects between 30.9 and 36.2 were included. For subgroups analysis of CPR or IR, there were no significant differences in MTHFR (C377T), MTHFR (A1298C), FVL, PGM, and FVL/PGM mutation were found between the mutation group and control group (P > 0. 05).

conclusionsIVF outcomes are not associated with FVL, PGM, MTHFR (C677T), MTHFR (A1298C), and APCR mutation in inherited thrombophilias.
