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.

Abstract

objectiveTo compare the number of oocytes obtained in the follicular puncture of high- responder oocyte donors, submitted to ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) in two different protocols: Friendly and Conventional.

methodsThere were one hundred-and-eight infertile egg-donor women, aged between 21 and 35 years, undergoing IVF in this retrospective cohort study. The women were divided into two groups: 1) Friendly protocol: controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) with corifollitropin alpha, clomiphene citrate and dydrogesterone without daily rFSH (n=52) and 2) In the Conventional protocol, we had COS with menotropin daily and ganirelix (n=66). We assessed age, body mass index, time and cause of infertility, antral follicle count (AFC) by three-dimensional ultrasound, number of visits to the clinic, COS duration, number of follicles ≥14mm on the trigger day, early ovulation frequency, number of mature oocytes, number of cryopreserved embryos, clinical pregnancy rate, frequency of OHSS.

resultsThe ovulatory factor was higher in women in the Conventional protocol (p=0.03), and the tubal factor (p=0.02) was higher in the Friendly protocol group. The number of visits to the clinic was lower among women in the Friendly protocol (p=0.04). The number of mature eggs, the clinical pregnancy rate and the frequency of OHSS were similar between the groups. The number of frozen embryos was higher in the Friendly group (p=0.02). The regression model demonstrated that the ovulatory factor, the tubal factor and the number of visits to the clinic were not predictors of the number of mature oocytes. Only AFC was an independent predictor of the number of meiosis II oocytes (p<0.01).

conclusionsThe Friendly protocol seems to be as safe and effective as the Conventional protocol for infertile high-responder oocyte donors, resulting in a similar number of mature oocytes and OHSS incidence.
