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

Purpose: To clarify the efficacy of the OPtimization of Thyroid function, Thrombophilia, IMmunity and Uterine Milieu (OPTIMUM) treatment strategy on pregnancy outcomes after euploid blastocyst transfer in advanced age women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and/or recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Methods: Between January 2019 and May 2022, 193 consecutive women aged ≥40 years with RIF and/or RPL received single euploid blastocyst transfer. Before embryo transfer, 127 women underwent RIF/RPL testing. Chronic endometritis was treated with mainly antibiotics, aberrant high Th1/Th2 cell ratios with vitamin D and/or tacrolimus, overt/subclinical hypothyroidism with levothyroxine, and thrombophilia with low-dose aspirin. We compared pregnancy outcomes in the women who did and did not receive the OPTIMUM treatment strategy. Results: Women with RIF/RPL in the OPTIMUM group had significantly higher clinical pregnancy and livebirth rates than did those in the control group (clinical pregnancy rate of 71.7% and 45.5%, Conclusions: The OPTIMUM treatment strategy improved clinical pregnancy rates after single euploid blastocyst transfer; but not miscarriage rates.
