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

backgroundRepeated implantation failure (RIF) refers to the condition where high quality embryos are unable to successfully implant after multiple cycles of MATERIALS AND

methodsThe present randomised clinical trial study was conducted at the IVF Centre of Mehr Medical Institute in Rasht, Iran, from 2020 to 2022. The research consisted of 200 individuals who had experienced multiple failed cycles. These patients were randomised into two groups: intrauterine infusion of 1 ml of G-CSF and intrauterine infusion of 1 ml autologous PRP at least 48 hours before embryo transfer (ET). The groups were compared in terms of implantation rate, and chemical, clinical, and ongoing pregnancy.

resultsThe implantation rate was significantly higher in patients who received PRP (P=0.016). Chemical pregnancy in the PRP group was significantly higher than G-CSF group (P=0.003). Both clinical pregnancy and ongoing pregnancy rates were significantly higher in the PRP group (P=0.001) compared to the G-CSF group (P=0.02).

conclusionThe utilisation of PRP via intrauterine infusion is considerably more successful than G-CSF in enhancing pregnancy and live birth rates among patients with RIF.
