Spironolactone use and oocyte maturation in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
purposeTo evaluate the association between spironolactone use and controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) outcomes.
methodsRetrospective study, including patients who underwent COH. Oocyte yield and maturation rates were compared by categories of spironolactone use at the start of their cycle.
results402 patients were included. 83 patients continued spironolactone, 44 patients discontinued spironolactone, and 275 matched control patients were spironolactone-naïve. No difference was observed in the number of oocytes retrieved (17 ± 14 vs. 15 ± 13, p = 0.4) or mature oocytes vitrified (15 ± 9.5 vs. 12 ± 11, p = 0.4) in patients who continued spironolactone use and spironolactone naïve patients, respectively. When comparing patients who continued spironolactone use and patients who discontinued spironolactone use, no difference was seen in the number of oocytes retrieved (17 ± 14 vs. 17.5 ± 7.8, p = 0.9) or mature oocytes vitrified (15 ± 9.5 vs. 13.5 ± 6.5, p = 0.5), respectively. There was no observed relationship between total daily spironolactone dose (< 100mg/day, 100mg/day, 150mg/day and > 200 mg/day) and the total number of mature oocytes vitrified (respectively, 14.0 ± 13.0, 16.0 ± 7.8, 14.0 ± 4.5, 11.0 ± 7.0 oocytes, p = 0.4).
conclusionsThis is the first study to evaluate the association between spironolactone and oocyte yield and maturation rates during COH cycles. These findings can assist in counseling patients on the implications of continuing spironolactone during COH cycle.
