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 authors previously revealed the association of the follicular fluid (FF) volume with oolemma stretchability following the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol during intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). However, the impact of the GnRH agonist protocol on oolemma stretchability remains unclear.

methodsData that were obtained from 74 ICSI cycles were reviewed retrospectively. Controlled ovarian stimulation was performed in accordance with the short GnRH agonist protocol. Each follicle was individually aspirated and assigned to one of six groups, according to the FF volume. The oolemma stretchability during ICSI was evaluated by using a mechanical stimulus for oolemma penetration; that is, oolemma penetration with or without aspiration (high vs low stretchability, respectively).

resultsThe incidence of low oolemma stretchability was significantly higher in the <1.0 mL group than that in the ≥1.0 mL group. The normal fertilization rate was significantly lower in the <1.0 mL group than that in the 2.0-<3.0 mL group. The rate of blastocyst development was lower in the <1.0 mL group than that in the 3.0-<4.0 mL group.

conclusionThe FF volume potentially was associated with metaphase II oolemma stretchability, fertilization, and blastocyst development.
