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

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is an uncommon but serious complication occurring in patients undergoing ovarian stimulation. It is characterized by ovarian enlargement, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain/distension, and reduction in urine output. However, OHSS may rarely evolve into a life-threatening condition with ascites, hemoconcentration and hypercoagulability. Prevention of OHSS consists of an integrated approach that associates behavioral aspects with administration of pharmacological compounds. Among drugs used to manage OHSS, Letrozole has recently been proposed as an effective option for prevention of the syndrome. However, despite the promising findings reported by several studies, to date Letrozole is not yet officially mentioned in the guidelines for "Prevention and Treatment of moderate and severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome". In this scenario, the current study discusses Letrozole approaches scientifically available to prevent OHSS.
