Dual trigger protocol is an effective in vitro fertilization strategy in both normal and high responders without compromising pregnancy outcomes in fresh cycles.
Article in F&S reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo study the birth rates of normal vs. high responders after dual trigger of final oocyte maturation with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist and human chorionic gonadotropin in fresh in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles in which ovarian stimulation was achieved by a flexible GnRH antagonist protocol.
designRetrospective cohort study.
settingUniversity hospital. PATIENTS: In women <35 years of age, 290 fresh IVF cycles using the dual trigger protocol with day 5 embryo transfers from January 2013 to July 2018 were included. Cycles excluded were those with preimplantation genetic testing, gestational carriers, donor oocytes, and fertility preservation.
interventionsIVF with dual trigger.
main outcome measuresClinical pregnancy rate, live birth rate.
resultsComparing normal responders, defined as <30 oocytes retrieved, and high responders, defined as ≥30 oocytes retrieved, the clinical pregnancy rates (67.0% vs. 69.3%, respectively) and live birth rates (60.5% vs. 60.0%, respectively) were not significantly different. No cases of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome were reported in either group.
conclusionsOvarian stimulation by a flexible GnRH antagonist protocol followed by dual trigger yields comparable outcomes between normal and high responders in fresh IVF cycles.
