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
This study aims to analyze the cycle characteristics, pregnancy, and neonatal outcomes in early rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection (r-ICSI) cycles in normal and hyper-ovarian response women in their first IVF/ICSI attempts. Data from short-term in vitro fertilization (IVF, N = 7148), early r-ICSI (N = 618), and ICSI (N = 1744) cycles were retrospectively analyzed from normal and hyper-ovarian women who underwent their first IVF/ICSI cycles at our center from October 2015 to October 2021. The r-ICSI group was subdivided into partial r-ICSI (N = 451) and total r-ICSI (N = 167) based on the number of fertilized oocytes in the IVF part. Cyclic characteristics, pregnancy, delivery and neonatal outcomes in the fresh cycle were compared among the four groups; pregnancy, delivery and neonatal outcomes in frozen-thawed cycles were compared regarding cleavage and blastocyst transfers derived from r-ICSI cycles. Partial r-ICSI cycles showed different cyclic characteristics compared to total r-ICSI cycles, presenting as elevated AMH and estradiol levels on trigger day and an increased number of oocytes retrieved. Early r-ICSI delayed blastocyst development as seen by the increase in the number of day 6 blastocysts. There was no significant difference among the groups in clinical pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and live birth in fresh cleavage-stage embryo transfer cycles. However, early r-ICSI groups showed a reduction in clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in fresh blastocyst transfer cycles but not in the frozen-thawed cycles. For pregnant women, early r-ICSI did not show a negative effect on the risk of preterm birth, Cesarean section, neonatal birth weight, and sex ratio. In conclusion, early r-ICSI had comparable pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes when compared with short-term IVF and ICSI groups in fresh cleavage-stage embryo transfer cycles, but early r-ICSI did result in reduced pregnancy outcomes in fresh blastocyst embryo cycles, possibly due to delayed blastocyst development and asynchronization with the endometrium.
