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

purposeTo evaluate the association between serum progesterone (P) at the day of ovulation trigger and neonatal birthweight in singletons born after frozen-thawed embryo transfer in segmented ART cycles.

methodsA retrospective multicenter cohort study involving data from patients who achieved uncomplicated pregnancy and term delivery of ART-conceived singleton babies following a segmented GnRH antagonist cycle. The main outcome was birthweight's z-score of the neonate. Univariate and multivariate linear logistic regression analyses were made to investigate the relation of z-score with variables inherent to the patient and to the ovarian stimulation. The variable P per oocyte was created by dividing the value of progesterone at ovulation trigger by the number of oocytes retrieved at oocyte retrieval.

resultsA total of 368 patients were included in the analysis. At univariate linear regression, the birthweight z-score of the neonate appeared to be inversely related to both P levels at the ovulation trigger (- 0.101, p = 0.015) and P levels per oocyte at trigger (- 1.417, p = 0.001), while it was directly related to the height of the mother (0.026, p = 0.002) and to the number of previous live births (0.291, p = 0.016). In multivariate analysis, both serum P (- 0.1; p = 0.015) and P per oocyte (- 1.347, p = 0.002) maintained the significant inverse association with birthweight z-score after adjusting for height and parity.

conclusionsSerum progesterone level on the day of ovulation trigger inversely correlates with normalized birthweight of neonates in segmented GnRH antagonist ART cycles.
