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 success of in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in endometriosis patients varies widely, and predicting the likelihood of achieving a live birth remains a clinical challenge. This study aims to develop a predictive nomogram for assessing the cumulative live birth (CLB) rate following IVF/ICSI cycles among patients with endometriosis.

methodA retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 1457 patients with endometriosis after IVF/ICSI treatment from January 2017 to August 2022. The patients were divided into a training set (70%) and a validation set (30%) using a random number table. Univariate analysis and multifactorial logistic regression analysis were employed to identify relevant predictive factors affecting CLB rate. A predictive model was then established based on the identified factors.

resultsUnivariate analysis and multifactorial logistic regression analysis revealed that patients with concurrent adenomyosis had a decreased CLB rate (OR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.31-0.82). As the duration of infertility increased, the CLB rate decreased (OR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.88-0.99). Higher numbers of fertilized oocytes and high-quality embryos were associated with an increased likelihood of CLB. A nomogram predictive model for CLB rate, based on age, concurrent adenomyosis, duration of infertility, number of fertilization, and number of high-quality embryos, was developed. The area under the curve (AUC) for the training set and validation set was 0.823 (95% CI: 0.798-0.849) and 0.773 (95% CI: 0.729-0.818), respectively. The stratified analysis demonstrated the applicability of the model in the validation cohort.

conclusionThis predictive nomogram for CLB rate in patients with endometriosis provides valuable and precise information for personalized decision-making, which could be a visual and easily applied tool for IVF/ICSI counselling.
