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

Objective: To report 2 cases of women with vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheaesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and/or limb anomalies (VACTERL association) and the outcomes of their in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. Design: A case report. We obtained informed consent from both the patients for this case report. Setting: Outpatient clinic at an academic hospital. Patients: Patient 1 was a 23-year-old woman with scoliosis, tethered spinal cord, tracheaesophageal fistula, duodenal atresia, and a common cloaca at birth. Patient 2 was a 36-year-old woman with dextrocardia, congenital heart disease, scoliosis, and an imperforate anus at birth. Interventions: Both the patients underwent IVF. Main Outcome Measures: Oocyte yield, oocyte quality, and number of embryos. Results: Patient 1 underwent 1 IVF cycle, with 16 oocytes retrieved, of which 6 were mature. However, during intracytoplasmic sperm injection, the oocytes were noted to be extremely fragile and degenerated immediately after sperm injection. No oocyte was fertilized. Patient 2 underwent 3 IVF cycles, and 2 oocyte retrievals, with a total of 7 oocytes under cryopreservation. Conclusions: Both the patients' cases presented challenges due to aberrations in pelvic anatomy and poor IVF outcomes. There is a paucity of data regarding fertility outcomes and, specifically, oocyte quality in patients with vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheaesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and/or limb anomalies association. Their care requires a multidisciplinary assessment, an individualized approach, and continued investigation of their IVF and fertility outcomes.
