Successful in Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer after Transplantation of Cryopreserved Ovarian Tissue: Report of the First Korean Case.

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
For patients at risk of premature ovarian failure with cancer treatment, it is an important option to re-implant the ovarian tissue (OT) after cryopreservation to preserve endocrine function and fertility. With this technique, about 30% of pregnancy success rate and about 90 live births have been reported to date. However, there has been no case report of successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) with oocytes collected from transplanted cryopreserved OT in Korea. We report a 30-year old woman with rectal cancer who underwent IVF and ET after cryopreserved OT thawing and re-implantation. She has been diagnosed with stage IIIC rectal cancer after surgery, and right ovary was removed and cryopreserved between cycles of chemotherapy. After completion of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the patient underwent orthotopic transplantation of cryopreserved OTs. Three months after transplantation, the serum follicle-stimulating hormone level decreased from 91.11 mIU/mL to 43.69 mIU/mL. Thereafter, the patient underwent 11 ovarian stimulation cycles, and in 7 cycles, follicle growth was observed at the OT graft site. In one of these cycles, the oocyte was successfully retrieved and one embryo was transplanted after IVF. The patient was not pregnant, but the cryopreservation of OT can save the fertility after anticancer chemotherapy.
