1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 describe the experiences of three women with blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) who desired to pursue planned oocyte cryopreservation.

designCase series.

settingAn academic institution and a private clinic. PATIENTS: Three nulligravid women aged 23, 25, and 34 years who desired to pursue planned oocyte cryopreservation. Two women had BPES diagnosed when they were infants and one had BPES diagnosed after presenting to discuss oocyte cryopreservation.

interventionsAll three women underwent ovarian stimulation. One woman underwent three oocyte retrievals. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: Vitrification of metaphase II oocytes.

resultsOne woman had a total of eight metaphase II oocytes vitrified. In addition, she underwent genetic testing that confirmed type 1 BPES. The other two women, who had BPES diagnosed when they were newborns, each underwent two cycles of ovarian stimulation. Neither of these two women responded to ovarian stimulation and both cycles were cancelled before oocyte retrieval.

conclusionsBPES is a rare condition that can lead to primary ovarian insufficiency. Early identification of this condition is important to allow for timely reproductive counseling so that oocyte cryopreservation can be offered at a young age before oocyte depletion. Careful counseling is critical for these patients, because this case series demonstrated that not all women with BPES will respond to stimulation. Further, outcomes with cryopreserved oocytes have not yet been described in women with BPES.
