Assessing the risk of ectopic pregnancy following euploid frozen embryo transfer: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 possible risk factors for an ectopic pregnancy after euploid frozen embryo transfer (FET) at blastocyst stage.
methodsRetrospective cohort study of women with a positive pregnancy test after euploid frozen embryo transfer at blastocyst stage between April 2017 and June 2023.
resultsAn ectopic pregnancy occurred in 21 patients (1.19%) out of 1758 patients. Patient characteristics age, BMI, smoking status, infertility type, cycle/embryo characteristics (type of endometrial preparation and embryo quality), and presence of an isthmocele (yes/no) were not significantly different between the patients with versus without an ectopic pregnancy. The ratio measured to expected hCG levels was significantly lower in patients with ectopic pregnancy when compared to those with clinical pregnancy (0.7 vs 1, P < 0.001). The multinomial regression analysis showed increased odds of an ectopic pregnancy (EP) compared to an ongoing clinical pregnancy with lower observed/expected hCG levels in both single and double embryo transfers (OR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.07-0.25; P < 0.001 and OR, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.09-0.30; P < 0.001).
conclusionThe risk of ectopic pregnancy in euploid frozen embryo transfer cycles at the blastocyst stage is comparable to spontaneous conceptions. Despite the huge sample size of euploid FET cycles, due to the very low number of ectopic pregnancies, we were unable to identify a particular risk factor for ectopic implantation.
