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

backgroundThe increase in the rate of multiple pregnancies in clinical practice is associated with assisted reproductive technology (ART). Given the high risk of dichorionic triamniotic (DCTA) triplet pregnancies, reducing DCTA triplet pregnancies to twin or singleton pregnancies is often beneficial. CASE PRESENTATION: This article reports on two cases of DCTA triplet pregnancies resulting from two blastocyst transfers. Given the high risk of complications such as twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) in monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies, patients have a strong desire to preserve the dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twins. Multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) was performed in both cases to continue the pregnancy with DCDA twins by reducing one of the MCDA twins. Both of the pregnant women in this report eventually gave birth to healthy twins at 37 weeks.

conclusionsFor infertile couples with multiple pregnancies but with a strong desire to remain the DCDA twins, our report suggests that reducing DCTA triplets to DCDA twin pregnancies may be an option based on clinical operability and assessment of surgical difficulty.
