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
objectiveThe present study aims at evaluating the results obtained after in vitro fertilization in bad responders, using controlled ovarian hyperstimulation together with the use of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist (cetrorelix acetate) in a short protocol.
methodsThis is an analytical, longitudinal, retrospective and controlled study involving patients who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures in the assisted reproduction program of the Reproferty clinic, in the municipality of São José dos Campos/SP, from January 2012 to December 2016. We collected the data obtained from the medical records of patients considered to have undergone controlled ovarian hyperstimulation using GnRH antagonist (cetrorelix acetate) and Growth Hormone (GH) in a short cycle protocol. The patients considered controls were those submitted to the same hyperstimulation process, without using GH.
resultsThere were significant differences in the following analyzed parameters: gonadotrophin regimen dose, stimulation duration, and estradiol levels on the day of HCG administration, number of follicles, number of retrieved oocytes, number of mature oocytes and number of good-quality embryos. On the other hand, the GH administration was not significant in the number of cycles that achieved transfer, the number of embryos transferred and the number of frozen cycles. In the case group, there was no increase in the number of cycles that reached pregnancy rate βhCG+; however, the clinical pregnancy rates and live birth rates were significant.
conclusionThe present investigation demonstrated that GH administration as a supplement in poor responders improves the majority of the parameters to achieve a full term pregnancy in these patients.
