The dilemma faced by patients who undergo single embryo transfer.
Article in Reproductive medicine and biology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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 identify the factors that contribute to the decision to choose single embryo transfer (SET).
methodsTwo hundred and nine patients who underwent ART treatment in our clinics between April 2006 and May 2007 were enrolled in this study. All patients had elected to undergo SET before the start of each treatment cycle; a questionnaire was administered to all patients prior to the SET procedure.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 34.6 years old (range: 24-45 years). The mean number of redundant embryos was 3.7 (range: 1-17), and the pregnancy rate per embryo transfer was 25.7%. A total of 121 patients (57.9%) who underwent SET returned their questionnaires. Based on the results of questionnaire, 56.2% of patients who received SET waived their right to choose between single and double embryo transfer. Among patients who selected SET, 67.6% believed that the pregnancy rate resulting from double embryo transfer (DET) is significantly greater than that associated with SET, and 25% of patients wanted to have twins. The majority of patients (80.9%) who underwent SET understood that multi-fetal pregnancy increases the risk of complications during gestation and delivery. Among all patients who completed the questionnaire, 72.8% believed that the number of transferred embryos should not be controlled by law.
conclusionsThe results of the present study show that greater than one-half of patients who underwent SET were faced with a dilemma--the difficult choice between their own desires and their clinician's recommendation.
