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

backgroundFrozen embryo transfer (FET) has been increasingly used due to advancements in cryopreservation techniques and the safety advantages. This study aims to determine various factors influencing the successful FET. MATERIALS AND

methodsRetrospective cohort analysis included 1112 women who underwent programmed FET between January 2012 and October 2022, at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thailand. Patient characteristics, embryo characteristics, endometrial preparation protocol, endometrial characteristics (thickness, pattern), embryo transfer procedure (tip and flow during transfer, embryo placement location, the difficulty of the procedure, presence of blood and mucous at catheter), and operator factor were analyzed. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between collected variables and successful embryo transfer which is defined by clinical pregnancy.

resultsThe overall clinical pregnancy rate was 34.2%. Women aged 35-40 years and >40 years were less likely to have a clinical pregnancy compared to those aged <35 years [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.523; 95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.360-0.757, P<0.001 and aOR: 0.260; 95% CI: 0.152-0.434, P<0.001, respectively]. Obese women with body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 were significantly associated with decreased clinical pregnancy (aOR: 0.632; 95% CI: 0.403-0.978, P=0.042) compared to those with normal BMI. Day-3 and day-4 embryo transfer showed a significant decrease in clinical pregnancy compared to blastocyst transfer (aOR: 0.294; 95% CI: 0.173-0.485, P<0.001 and aOR: 0.497; 95% CI: 0.265-0.900, P=0.024). Double embryo transfer (DET) was 1.78 times more likely to have a clinical pregnancy than women with single embryo transfer (SET) (aOR: 1.779; 95% CI: 1.293-2.458, P<0.001). The cycles with endometrial thickness <8 mm were associated with a decrease in clinical pregnancy compared with those with a thickness ≥8 mm (aOR: 0.443; 95% CI: 0.225-0.823, P=0.013).

conclusionOlder age, obesity, non-blastocyst transfer, single embryo transfer, and endometrial thickness of <8 mm were significantly associated with a decreased clinical pregnancy in programmed FET.
