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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prophylactic effects of cabergoline on ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) after oocyte retrieval. Methods: A total of 187 women underwent controlled ovarian stimulation using gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist long protocol or flexible GnRH antagonist protocol for in vitro fertilization. They responded excessively to ovulation induction, and fresh embryo transfers were canceled. Sixty-one patients in the intervention group were administered oral cabergoline (0.5 mg) three times after oocyte retrieval (day 0, 2, and 4 following the oocyte retrieval). Ultrasonography and blood examination were performed on the seventh day following oocyte retrieval. The main outcomes measured were the incidence of OHSS, estimated ovarian volumes, ascites, hematocrits, and white blood cell counts. Results: The incidence of moderate to severe OHSS was lower after cabergoline administration (9.8 vs. 23.0 %, Conclusions: Cabergoline has a favorable effect on the prevention of moderate to severe OHSS affiliated with ovarian volume reduction.
