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

Background: To compare the cost-effectiveness of originator (reference) recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone alfa (rhFSH-α) (follitropin alfa, GONAL-f) and its biosimilar (rhFSH, JinSaiHeng) in assisted reproductive technology (ART) from a Chinese patient perspective. Methods: A decision tree model was developed to simulate the treatment pathway of infertile women undergoing ART using GONAL-f or JinSaiHeng. Published clinical and cost data were used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the rhFSH-α. The cumulative live birth rate (CLBR), direct medical costs and costs per cumulative live birth were estimated via an analytic decision-tree model. Results: CLBR of GONAL-f was higher than JinSaiHeng preparation (88.3% vs 84.4%), while the cost per cumulative live birth was lower (51,475 vs 52,095 CNY). Conclusion: The originator rhFSH-α was associated with higher CLBR and lower cost per cumulative live birth, with incremental cost per additional live birth of 38,096 CNY (Chinese Yuan).
