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

backgroundEmbryo transfer (ET) is an important step in assisted reproductive technology. Uterine length measurement before ET (ULMbET) enables the determination of catheter length and anatomical variation before the ET. Therefore, in this study, we aim to compare ULMbET and transabdominal ultrasound-guided ET (TAUGET). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis open-label randomised clinical trial enrolled 264 women who were scheduled for frozen- thawed ET (FET) cycles. The women were randomised to the ULMbET or TAUGET group for ET. The primary outcome of this study was clinical pregnancy.

resultsA total of 132 women were randomly assigned to the ULMbET group and 132 women to the TAUGET group. However, four women in the ULMbET group did not receive the allocated method after randomisation. Finally, 128 women from the ULMbET group and 132 women from the TAUGET group were assessed. No statistically significant differences existed in chemical pregnancy rate (31.3 vs. 36.4%, P=0.384), clinical pregnancy rate (23.4 vs. 28%, P=0.397), and implantation rate (15 vs. 17.8%, P=0.401) between the ULMbET and TAUGET groups, respectively.

conclusionThe results of this clinical trial show no differences in pregnancy outcomes in FET cycles following ULMbET and TAUGET (registration number: IRCT20110509006420N240).
