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

objectiveTo evaluate the clinical availability and stability of histological endometrial dating as a tool for personalized frozen-thawed embryo transfer (pFET) in patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF) in natural cycles.

methodsA total of 1245 RIF patients were recruited to the present study. All of the patients received an endometrial dating evaluation on day 7 post-ovulation (PO + 7) to guide their first pFET. The second and third pFETs were executed according to histological examination (again employing biopsy) or by reference to previous results. Subsequent pregnancy outcomes for all of the cycles were ultimately tracked.

resultsThe out-of-phase rate for RIF patients was 32.4% (404/1245) and the expected dating rate (the probability of the expected endometrial dating aligning with repeat biopsy) for endometrial dating reevaluation was as high as 94.3% (50/53). The clinical pregnancy rates of first, second, and third pFETs were 65.3%, 50.0%, and 44.4%, respectively; and the cumulative clinical pregnancy rate attained 74.9% after three transfers. Endometrial dating reevaluations met expectations with more than a 2-year duration in three cases and elicited favorable clinical outcomes.

conclusionWe validated the relatively high stability of the histological endometrial dating platform-including the out-of-phase rate and the expected dating rate of reevaluation in patients with RIF-by expanding the sample size. The pFET, based on histological endometrial dating, was of acceptable clinical value and was worthy of promotion in patients with unexplained RIF.
