Live birth rate of twin pregnancies after frozen embryo transfer: natural cycle versus ovulation induction regimens.
Article in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeOvulation induction (OI) using letrozole or human menopausal hormone (hMG) is recently developed for endometrium preparation in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. The purpose of this study is to compare the live birth rate of twin pregnancies between modified natural and OI regimens for endometrium preparation in FET cycles. STUDY
designThis study included all consecutive twin pregnancies following FET with modified natural cycle (mNC-FET) or OI (OI-FET) regimen for endometrium preparation between January 2015 to June 2019. Primary outcome was the live birth of at least one twin per pregnancy. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the potential association of endometrium preparation regimen and live birth. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.
resultsDuring the study period, 269 twin pregnancies after mNC-FET and 177 twin pregnancies after OI-FET were included. The live birth rate of at least one twin per pregnancy was not significantly different between mNC-FET and OI-FET groups, 92.2% vs 90.4%; aOR 0.65; 95%CI 0.32-1.34. The multivariable regression analysis showed that twin pregnancies after OI-FET had decreased odds for gestational diabetes mellitus (aOR 0.37; 95% CI 0.16-0.87) in comparison to twin pregnancies after mNC-FET. In subgroup analysis, we found that the rate of live birth of at least one twin per pregnancy was significantly higher in OI-FET cycles using letrozole compared to those using hMG (94% vs 83.3%; aOR 3.45; 95%CI 1.24-9.57).
conclusionThe live birth rate in twin pregnancies after FET is comparable between mNC or OI regimens for endometrium preparation.
