Can we predict the IVF/ICSI live birth rate?
Article in JBRA assisted reproduction, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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 find a pretreatment predictor for achieving a live birth. Assisted reproduction technology with IVF/ICSI is the ultimate chance for some couples to conceive a child. The expectations are high and it is important to give them a realistic perspective about the chances of achieving a live birth.
methodsA retrospective cohort study of all IVF/ICSI cycles performed in our center between 2012 and 2016. We considered only those cycles with a live birth delivery after 24 weeks, or cycles with no surplus embryos left. The following data was evaluated: AMH; AFC; age; BMI; previous diagnosis; type of treatment; number of previous deliveries; ethnicity, smoking status. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to examine the association of live birth with baseline patient characteristics. We determined the odds-ratio for all the statistically significant variables (p<0.05), in a multivariate model. The results are presented according to the predictors founded.
results739 cycles were evaluated: 9.1% were canceled; 10.2% did not have oocytes; 15.6% did not have D2 embryos; 31.4% achieved a live birth. The univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences regarding AMH, AFC and women's age between couples with and without a live birth (p<0.001), and the cause of infertility. We found no association with live births in other variables. These variables were categorized and used in a multivariate analysis.
conclusionAge, AMH, AFC and cause, when sub-classified, are independently associated with the results of an IVF/ICSI treatment. These results enable couples to face real expectations in their particular scenario.
