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 study the economic impact of ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation (OTC) in post-pubertal patients who underwent high-risk gonadotoxic chemotherapy.

methodsA decision tree model was used to determine the live birth rate and cost-effectiveness of OTC versus non-OTC. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was calculated. A sensitivity analysis was performed under the assumption that the costs of ovarian cortex retrieval, cryopreservation, and storage for patients with cancer might be covered by the national health system or health insurance.

resultsPatients had the greatest probability of achieving live birth after high-risk chemotherapy when they underwent OTC versus non-OTC. Although cryopreservation of ovarian tissue results in higher live birth rates, it is always more expensive. Cost-effectiveness increases when the majority of patients completes the path of tissue cryopreservation plus transplantation after 5 years.

conclusionAlthough OCT has been demonstrated as a procedure for effective fertility preservation in fertility-age women with cancer, no cost-effectiveness analysis has been performed until now. This model could help healthcare systems to allocate coverage for OCT.
