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

backgroundFresh embryo transfer reduces waiting time and minimizes embryo cryodamage for endometriosis (EM) patients. The current prediction models for fresh embryo transfer outcomes in EM primarily rely on logistic regression, with limited application of machine learning (ML) approaches. This study aimed to develop an ML-based predictive model for clinical pregnancy in EM patients undergoing fresh embryo transfer.

methodsA retrospective analysis included 1752 EM patients undergoing IVF/ICSI with fresh embryo transfer (2014-2024). Twenty-four clinical and embryonic characteristics were predictors; clinical pregnancy was the outcome. Six ML models-Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, k-Nearest Neighbors, Neural Network, and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost)-were developed and compared. Feature selection involved logistic regression and Random Forest recursive feature elimination, with tenfold cross-validation.

resultsMale age (OR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.93-0.98, p < 0.001), normal fertilization count (OR = 1.07, 95% CI 1.03-1.11, p = 0.001), and transferred embryo count (OR = 1.61, 95% CI 1.24-2.08, p < 0.001) significantly predicted clinical pregnancy. The XGBoost model demonstrated optimal performance (training AUC: 0.764; testing AUC: 0.622). Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) provided model interpretability.

conclusionsAn XGBoost-based model effectively predicts clinical pregnancy in EM patients after fresh embryo transfer, showing acceptable performance and interpretability.
