Inspection depth of uterine lumen measured by transvaginal ultrasound is associated with the success of IVF: a prospective longitudinal cohort study in China.

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
objectiveTo measure the inspection depth of uterine lumen by transvaginal ultrasound and assess the association between the inspection depth and pregnancy outcomes in IVF-ET.
methodsThis prospective longitudinal cohort study was conducted from June 2018 to December 2020. We enrolled patients aged 20-45 years who underwent frozen embryo transfer cycle. We calculated the average distance from the uterine lumen to the ultrasound probe (inspection depth) using transvaginal ultrasonography and divided the entire cohort into four groups according to the quartiles of the overall inspection depth distribution. The chi-square test was used to compare the pregnancy outcomes of the four groups. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to assess the association between the inspection depth and pregnancy outcomes.
resultsSeven hundred forty-two patients were finally enrolled, and they were grouped according to the inspection depth quartiles. There were significant decrease in the clinical pregnancy, implantation, and live birth rates among the four groups (P < 0.05); however, there was no significant difference in the miscarriage rate. Multivariable logistic regression analysis with the inspection depth as a continuous variable demonstrated that the inspection depth was associated with clinical pregnancy, implantation, and live birth rates (clinical pregnancy rate, adjusted odds ratio, 0.549; 95% confidence interval, 0.380-0.793; implantation rate, adjusted odds ratio, 0.680; 95% confidence interval, 0.496-0.931; live birth rate, adjusted odds ratio, 0.602; 95% confidence interval, 0.420-0.863), but not with the miscarriage rate.
conclusionsThe inspection depth of the uterine lumen measured by transvaginal ultrasound was associated with IVF success.
