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

The object of this review article is to update on the freezing of oocytes for non-medical reasons. Following a review of increased success rate and safety, the cryopreservation of oocytes is no longer considered experimental. The trend of oocyte freezing is increasing amongst woman who wants to delay childbearing for personal, professional and financial reasons. Very few women return to retrieve their warmed frozen oocytes. The current evidence suggests that there is 70% chance of a live birth following cryopreservation of > 20 M II oocytes at < 38 years of age. However, a larger meta-analysis from different centres is needed to confirm the optimum age for oocyte cryopreservation, the optimum number of oocytes required for live birth, cost-effectiveness and how best to give accurate, unbiased updates to the prospective candidate wanting cryofreezing. In this paper, we have attempted to comprehensively review the literature published on the indications, success rates, factors affecting success rates, live birth rates, counselling, return rates and safety of social egg freezing.
