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

problemA proportion of patients with unexplained recurrent implantation failure (uRIF) may have endometrial immune dysregulation amenable to treatment. Ultimpro (Matrice lab Innove, Paris, France) is an endometrial immunophenotype test which identifies the absence or presence and type of immune dysregulation, proposing personalized protocol adjustments for a future embryo transfer (ET). METHOD OF STUDY: 2.5-year single-center retrospective cohort analysis of 121 patients who underwent Ultimpro testing as a pilot study (January 2021-May 2023). Group 1 included 93 patients with uRIF, and Group 2 included 28 patients without RIF. Outcomes from Group 1 were compared to Group 3, a control cohort of 94 uRIF patients, outcomes for Group 2 were compared to Canadian average ongoing pregnancy rates (OPR) per ET. Primary outcome was pregnancy >32 weeks or live birth. Statistical analyses included the Student t-test or Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables and the Fisher exact test for categorical data.

resultsIn Group 1, 46/93 (49.5%) patients had a successful pregnancy compared to control (31/94 [33%], p = 0.026); when stratifying for RIF severity, patients with ≥ 5 failed blastocyst transfers benefitted most from Ultimpro (21/38 [55.3%] vs. control 5/25 (20.0%), p = 0.0084). In Group 2, rates of OPR per ET with Ultimpro recommendations did not differ from outcomes for non-RIF patients (9/28 [32.1%]; 95% CI: 0.15-0.52 vs. 46.2%).

conclusionsIn patients with uRIF, our preliminary findings suggest that application of Ultimpro recommendations was associated with a higher rate of successful outcomes; this was not the case for patients without RIF. These findings provide the rationale for an independent randomized controlled trial evaluating the large-scale use of Ultimpro in patients with uRIF.
