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

Objective: To compare pregnancy outcomes between in vitro fertilization (IVF) and natural conception in singleton pregnancies among nulliparous of advanced maternal age. Patients and methods: This retrospective analysis utilized propensity score matching (PSM) on 128 cases in the IVF group and 196 cases in the natural conception group, selected from the Second Nanning People's Hospital between January 2020 and December 2023. Early and late pregnancy outcomes assessed included hemoglobin (Hb) levels, oligohydramnios, fetal growth restriction (FGR), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), placenta previa, placental abruption, premature rupture of membranes, fetal distress, mode of delivery, gestational age at delivery, preterm birth, low birth weight, macrosomia, and blood loss during delivery. Results: The IVF group exhibited a higher incidence of oligohydramnios and a lower incidence of low birth weight compared to the natural conception group, with both differences being statistically significant (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found between the two groups for other pregnancy complications. Conclusion: Pregnancy outcomes for IVF and natural conception are comparable in singleton pregnancies among nulliparous of advanced maternal age. However, clinicians should remain vigilant regarding the risks of oligohydramnios and low birth weight in IVF pregnancies to ensure appropriate monitoring and intervention.
