Fertility preservation in female patients with hematological disorders.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness and safety of fertility counseling and fertility preservation using oocyte or embryo freezing prior to chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in female patients with hematologic disorders.
methodsBetween 2016 and 2019, 29 patients with hematologic disorders, age range 12-38 years, were given preoperative fertility counseling prior to proposed BMT. Sixteen of these patients, age range 22-38 years, chose to undergo oocyte retrieval followed by ovum or embryo freezing at our Center for Reproductive Medicine.
resultsAs the patients were in urgent need of chemotherapy or BMT, following the random-start controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), an average of 8.2 oocytes were collected. Ten patients had an average of 6.9 oocytes frozen, while 6 patients had an average of 3.2 embryos frozen. There were no intra-operative or postoperative complications, although two patients experienced a blood transfusion reaction of the 11 transfused patients.
conclusionFor patients with hematologic disorders, oocyte or embryo freezing prior to chemotherapy or BMT may offer hope for fertility preservation in female patients. However, in order to deliver this, a standardized, feasible, and effective treatment process is needed and should include every aspect of patient selection as well as protocols for ovulation promotion, perioperative management, and postoperative observation.
