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

backgroundPlatelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has been shown to enhance tissue regeneration by expressing several cytokines and growth factors (GFs). This study investigated the effect of intrauterine infusion of PRP as a noninvasive autologous GF on pregnancy outcomes in women with repeated implantation failure. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare the pregnancy rates between two groups of women who were candidates for the frozen-thawed embryo transfer with a history of two or more implantation failures. The PRP group (n=33) was treated with hormone replacement therapy+0.5 cc to 1 cc PRP infused into the uterine cavity two days before the embryo transfer. The control group (n=33) was only treated with hormone replacement therapy. The endometrial preparation process was done similarly in both groups. The chemical, clinical, and ongoing pregnancy, and implantation rates were compared between the two groups.

resultsOur results showed that the chemical pregnancy rate was not statistically higher in the PRP group in comparison with the control group (36.4 vs. 24.2%). In addition, the clinical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy, and implantation rates were higher in the PRP group than the control group; however, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant.

conclusionAdministration of intrauterine PRP before embryo transfer in women with repeated implantation failure (RIF) does not affect assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes (registration number: IRCT2016090728950N3).
