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

backgroundWe aimed to assess the correlation between ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in the early course of in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancies and obstetric outcomes.

methodsWe identified records of patients admitted due to OHSS following IVF treatment at our institution between 2008 and 2020. Cases were included if pregnancy resulted in a live singleton delivery (OHSS group). OHSS cases were matched at a 1:5:5 ratio with live singleton deliveries following IVF with fresh embryo transfer (fresh transfer group) and frozen embryo transfer (FET group), according to maternal age and parity. Computerized files were reviewed, and maternal, obstetric and neonatal outcomes compared.

resultsOverall, 44 OHSS cases were matched with 220 fresh transfer and 220 FET pregnancies. Patient demographics were similar between the groups, including body mass index, smoking and comorbidities. Gestational age at delivery, the rate of preterm births, preeclampsia and cesarean delivery were similar between the groups. Placental abruption occurred in 6.8% of OHSS pregnancies, 1.4% of fresh transfer pregnancies and 0.9% of FET pregnancies (p=0.02). On post-hoc analysis, the rate of placental abruption was significantly higher in OHSS pregnancies, compared with the two other groups, and this maintained significance after adjustment for confounders. Birthweights were 3017 ± 483, 3057 ± 545 and 3213 ± 542 grams in the OHSS, fresh transfer and FET groups, respectively (p=0.004), although the rate of small for gestational age neonates was similar between the groups.

conclusionsOHSS in the early course of IVF pregnancies is associated with an increased risk of placental abruption.
