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

purposeThis is a comprehensive review of the literature in this field attempting to put the FMR1 gene and its evaluation into context, both in general and for the reproductive health audience.

methodsOnline database search of publications with systematic review of all papers relevant to ovarian reserve and assisted reproduction was done.

resultsRelevant papers were identified and assessed, and an attempt was made to understand, rationalize and explain the divergent views in this field of study. Seminal and original illustrations were employed.

conclusionsFMR1 is a highly conserved gene whose interpretation and effect on outcomes remains controversial in the reproductive health setting. Recent re-evaluations of the commonly accepted normal range have yielded interesting tools for possibly explaining unexpected outcomes in assisted reproduction. Fragile X investigations should perhaps become more routinely assessed in the reproductive health setting, particularly following a failed treatment cycle where oocyte quality is thought to be a contributing factor, or in the presence of a surprise finding of diminished ovarian reserve in a young patient.
