Salpingectomy may decrease antral follicle count but not live birth rate for IVF-ET patients aged 35-39 years: a retrospective study.

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
purposeProblems with fallopian tubes are one of the main reasons for women to undergo in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). A large proportion of women with ectopic pregnancy, fallopian tube obstruction and hydrosalpinx have had one or both fallopian tubes removed by salpingectomy. With increasing age, ovarian reserve deteriorates, the numbers of retrieved oocytes, available embryos and high-quality embryos are reduced, and the live birth rate for women treated with IVF treatment is affected. Thus, it is important to understand how salpingectomy affects live birth rates for IVF patients of different ages. This study analyzed how patients' age and salpingectomy influenced ovarian reserve, ovarian response and pregnancy outcomes for infertile women undergoing IVF-ET.
methodsA total of 1922 patients that underwent IVF-ET treatment from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2018, were included in this retrospective study. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether or not they had a previous history of salpingectomy. The salpingectomy (group A, 534 patients) and control groups (group B, 1388 patients) were then further divided into two subgroups according to patient age (age<35 years, and age 35-39 years). Ovarian reserve, ovarian response, and IVF outcomes were investigated for each subgroup. Logistic regression model was used to estimate the relationship between clinical pregnancy and live births and patients' baseline characteristics.
resultsIn the salpingectomy group, antral follicle counts (AFC) were significantly lower for the subgroup aged 35 to 39 years compared with the control group. But this difference did not appear in women younger than 35 years. In addition, there were no significant differences in levels of basal follicle stimulation hormone (FSH), basal luteinizing hormone (LH), basal estradiol (E
conclusionSalpingectomy may decrease antral follicle count but not live birth rate for IVF-ET patients aged 35-39 years. The increased female age was negative related with clinical pregnancy and live birth.
