Observational study in JBRA assisted reproduction, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07676682 (INVESTIGATİON OF THE EFFECT OF PASSIVE UTERINE STRAIGHTENING WITH A FULL BLADDER IN COMBINATION WITH TRANSABDOMINAL ULTRASONOGRAPHY ON PREGNANCY RATES IN INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical pregnancy rate of intrauterine insemination cycles in relation to patient age, cause of infertility, ovulation induction method, number of mature follicles and sperm with progressive motility.

methodsThis retrospective observational study included 237 intrauterine insemination cycles performed from 2011 to 2015 at the Assisted Reproduction Service of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo. Student's t-test was used to compare quantitative variables and the chi-square test was used to compare qualitative variables.

resultsPatient age was inversely and significantly correlated with pregnancy rates (p=0.001) (Pregnant women = 32.56±5.64 years, non-pregnant women = 36.64±5.03 years). Cause of infertility, ovulation induction method, number of mature follicles and sperm with progressive motility were not associated with pregnancy rates. The overall clinical pregnancy rate was 7.59%. In the subgroup of patients (n=102 cycles) considered ideal for intrauterine insemination (age ≤35 years, unexplained infertility, ovarian factor infertility or minimal endometriosis, and a partner with sperm count ≥2.5 × 10

conclusionIn the studied group, female patient age was the only variable significantly correlated with intrauterine insemination success rates.
