Outcomes of preterm infants conceived with in vitro fertilization.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo determine if there is increased risk of prematurity-related complications for in vitro fertilization (IVF)-conceived preterm infants compared to matched controls. STUDY
designCohort study of 23-34 weeks' preterm infants from 329 US NICUs discharged from 2009 to 2016. Each IVF patient was matched to three controls.
resultsWe identified 6,756 IVF-conceived preterm infants who were matched with 20,268 controls. IVF-conceived infants had no increase in non-respiratory morbidities but had significantly higher rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (8.4% vs 7%, p < 0.001) and significantly greater exposure to common chronic respiratory medications.
conclusionsIn this large cohort of IVF-conceived preterm infants we found similar outcomes to controls with the exception of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and respiratory medication exposure. Further research is needed to explore the influence of in vitro fertilization on the development of neonatal respiratory disease.
