Live births after in vitro maturation of oocytes in women who had suffered adnexal torsion and unilateral oophorectomy following conventional ovarian stimulation.

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
purposeTo report the first successful application of in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes resulting in live births in two anovulatory women who had suffered oophorectomy following ovarian torsion after stimulation with gonadotropins.
methodsData abstraction was performed from medical records of two subfertile women with excessive functional ovarian reserve. Both women had previously received gonadotropins for ovulation induction or ovarian stimulation, resulting in ovarian torsion. They were offered IVM of oocytes retrieved from antral follicles after mild ovarian stimulation, insemination of mature oocytes using ICSI, and embryo transfer. Outcome measures were the incidence of complications and live birth after fertility treatment.
resultsTransvaginal retrieval of cumulus-oocyte complexes from a unique ovary was conducted. One patient had a singleton live birth after vitrified-warmed embryo transfer in the second IVM cycle. The other patient had a singleton live birth after transfer of a fresh blastocyst in her first IVM cycle.
conclusionsAlthough approaches have been developed to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and to increase the safety profile of fertility treatment in predicted high responders, women with an excessive functional ovarian reserve may have a non-negligible risk of ovarian torsion. For these patients, IVM should be considered as a safer alternative approach.
