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

purposeDisplaced endometrial receptivity has been discussed as a possible cause of recurrent implantation failure in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology. The aim of this study was to document our experience with the endometrial receptivity analysis in patients with recurrent implantation failure.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study, conducted at the Fertility Centre of the University Hospital, Duesseldorf Germany, presents the results of the endometrial receptivity analysis in 67 patients with recurrent implantation failure and compares the clinical outcome between these 67 patients who underwent a personalized frozen-thawed embryo transfer guided by the results of the endometrial receptivity analysis and 32 patients with recurrent implantation failure who performed a standardized frozen-thawed embryo transfer.

resultsThe data analysis revealed a displaced endometrial receptivity in 73% (49/67) of all tested patients. Out of these patients, 24% (12/49) were early receptive, 74% (36/49) were pre-receptive, and 2% (1/49) were post-receptive. Comparison of pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and live-birth rate between personalized (49%, 39%, 27%, respectively) and standardized embryo transfer (44%, 31%, 19%, respectively) reveals no statistically significant difference. In both groups, patients had an average of four unsuccessful embryo transfers.

conclusionIn this cohort of patients with recurrent implantation failure, the endometrial receptivity analysis showed a high incidence of displaced endometrial receptivity. However, a personalized embryo transfer did not increase reproductive outcome. Displaced endometrial receptivity might not be the main cause for recurrent implantation failure in this cohort.
