Luteal phase support in fresh and frozen embryo transfers.
Review in Frontiers in reproductive health, 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
Context: Luteal phase support (LPS) has become an essential component of IVF protocols following both fresh and frozen embryo transfers, yet there is still controversy with regards to the optimal protocol of LPS to enhance treatment outcome. Search strategy: A search Conclusions: We present data that supports the use of Progesterone LPS in fresh and frozen embryo transfers. No benefits were found to the addition of hCG or estradiol to progesterone LPS in fresh transfers, however GnRH agonist may have a role. IM Progesterone was not advantageous over vaginal progesterone in fresh transfers but was superior in frozen transfers. The timing of LPS introduction, the interval to embryo transfer, as well as the serum concentration of progesterone, have significant effects on the success of the treatment.
