The thicker the endometrium, the better the neonatal outcomes?

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
study questionIs endometrial thickness (EMT) on the hCG trigger day related to the neonatal outcome of a single birth after fresh embryo transfer (ET)? SUMMARY ANSWER: An EMT ≤7.8 mm was an independent predictor for greater odds of preterm delivery (PTD) of singletons born after fresh ET. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: There may be a positive association between live birth rates and EMT after fresh ET. It is still unknown whether a similar association is seen for the neonatal outcomes of singletons in fresh cycles. STUDY DESIGN SIZE DURATION: This retrospective study involved singleton live births in women undergoing autologous IVF cycles during the period from 1 October 2016 to 31 July 2021. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS SETTING
methodsA total of 2010 women who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included. A multivariable regression analysis was performed to detect the relationship between EMT and neonatal outcomes after controlling for potential confounders. Smooth curve fitting and threshold effect analysis were used to evaluate the accurate cutoff value of EMT. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: The results of the multivariate regression analyses showed that the odds of PTD were reduced by 45% with an EMT of 9.00-9.90 mm (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 0.55, 95% CI: 0.13 to 0.98; LIMITATIONS REASONS FOR CAUTION: The main limitation of our study is its retrospective design. Although we found a significant decrease in PTD as the EMT increased, in terms of GA, the magnitude of the differences was modest, which may limit the clinical relevance of the findings. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE
findingsOur data provide new insight into the relationship between EMT and neonatal outcomes by indicating that a thin endometrium of ≤7.8 mm is associated with an increased odds of PTD of singletons after fresh ET. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTERESTS: This study was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (grant no. 82071717). There are no conflicts of interest.
