ART outcome after euploid frozen embryo transfer is not affected by previous Cesarean section delivery in the absence of intracavitary fluid.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo evaluate the impact of a cesarean section (CS) on the chance of clinical pregnancy and live birth (LB) in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles in the setting of euploid embryos and the absence of intracavitary fluid (ICF) as causes of implantation failure were excluded.
methodsRetrospective study, including patients with at least one previous CS or at least one previous vaginal delivery, who underwent a euploid FET cycle.
resultsA total of 412 euploid embryo transfer cycles had been included. Patients' mean age was 34.5 years and 42.48% of patients have had at least one previous CS. A clinical pregnancy was seen in 69.42% and 60.19% of the patients had a LB. Positive pregnancy test, clinical pregnancy, and LB rate were not significantly different between the groups without/with a history of a previous CS (p = 0.6/0.45/0.94, respectively). LB rate was significantly reduced by the presence of mucus on the ET catheter (OR: 0.413; p = 0.010), the BMI (OR: 0.946; p = 0.006), the combined embryo quality (embryo quality fair: OR: 0.444; p = 0.001; embryo quality low: OR: 0.062; p < 0.001), and by the HRT endometrial preparation approach (OR: 0.609; p = 0.023).
conclusionThe possible negative impact of a CS can be overcome when a euploid FET after exclusion of ICF is performed.
