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

The latest reports suggest that it is better to transfer embryos to the uterus on day five of preimplantation development compared to other days of development, but it is not clear if this stands when there are only one-two embryos obtained in the cycle. Therefore, to address this issue, we performed a retrospective study of such cycles. Our study included all of the stimulated IVF/ICSI cycles performed at our institution in the period between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2018 in which one-two embryos were obtained in the IVF/ICSI cycle and met our inclusion criteria, and we compared the data between day three and day five embryo transfer (ET). The analysis revealed that the day three ET group of patients was significantly older (
