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

purposeTo investigate the effect of climatic parameters in the mesothermal climate area on clinical pregnancy and live birth following fresh single blastocyst transfer.

methodsThis study investigated clinical pregnancies and live births that resulted from 555 ovarian stimulation cycles followed by fresh single blastocyst transfer. The samples were stratified according to climatic conditions (low T, temperature < 12.9 °C; middle T, 12.9 °C ≤ temperature < 22.6 °C; high T, temperature ≥ 22.6 °C; low H, relative humidity < 62.1%; middle H, 62.1% ≤ relative humidity < 66.5%; high H, relative humidity ≥ 66.5%; short S, sunlight duration < 5.2 h; middle S, 5.2 h ≤ sunlight duration < 6.7 h; long S, sunlight duration ≥ 6.7 h). Clinical pregnancy and live birth rates among three groups from each climatic parameter were compared. Multivariable analyses were performed to investigate the effects of climatic conditions on blastocyst development, endometrial thickness, clinical pregnancy, and live birth.

resultsA statistically significant difference was found in pregnancy rates among low T (48.8%), middle T (37.3%), and high T (36.6%) groups. Multivariable analyses revealed that temperature was associated with clinical pregnancy and live birth rates with adjustment for patient age, BMI, type of ovarian stimulation, endometrial thickness, and expansion grade of the transferred blastocyst. The association between climatic parameters and blastocyst development and endometrial thickness was not confirmed.

conclusionsThis study suggests that lower temperatures in the mesothermal climate area could favorably affect the rates of clinical pregnancy and live birth achieved by fresh single blastocyst transfer.
