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 purpose was to establish a mild ovarian stimulation protocol that would help assisted reproductive technology (ART) units to avoid scheduling on weekends.

methodsThis protocol directed patients to take 50 mg/day of clomiphene citrate between days 3 and 7 of the menstrual cycle: 225 IU of recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (rec-FSH) were administered on days 3, 5 and 7; human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was administered on day 9; and, oocyte pick-up (OPU) was planned for day 11. From October 2008 through October 2009, 514 women underwent ART treatment with mild stimulation at the Sugiyama Clinic, and we evaluated whether OPU was accomplished on the planned day.

resultsOf all the treatment cycles, 419 (81.5%) underwent OPU on day 11 (scheduled group). Additional rec-FSH administration was needed in 83 cycles, in which case OPU was performed on day 12 or later. In 12 cycles, OPU was canceled. The unscheduled group (

conclusionsUsing this protocol, OPU was performed on the scheduled day in about 80% of the cycles. Most weekend scheduling of OPU can be avoided using this mild stimulation.
