Comparison of obstetric outcomes between single and double embryo transfers among singleton live births from vitrified donor oocyte IVF cycles: a cohort study.
Article in Journal of gynecology obstetrics and human reproduction, 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
RESEARCH
objectiveAmong singleton live births resulting from donor oocyte cycles, do perinatal outcomes differ between single (SET) and double embryo transfers (DET)?
methodsWe utilized a retrospective cohort of 610 recipients who had a singleton livebirth following nonidentified vitrified donor oocyte IVF cycle from a fertility clinic in the southeast US, 2008-2016. Perinatal outcomes included gestational age and birth weight. Preterm birth was defined as <37 weeks and low birth weight was defined as <2500 grams. Cluster weighted generalized estimating equations were used to calculate effect estimates adjusted for year, embryo stage, prior donor transfers, recipient and donor age, recipient and donor body mass index, and infertility diagnosis.
resultsAmong the 698 singleton live births, 482 (69 %) were the result of a SET while 216 (31 %) were the result of a DET. Women who had two embryos transferred, as compared with one, did not have a statistically significant difference in gestational age (adjusted mean difference [AMD]:0.23 weeks, 95 % confidence interval [CI]:0.63, 0.17) or birth weight (AMD:27.9 grams, 95 % CI:137.7, 81.9). Similar, non-significant results were observed when evaluating risk of preterm birth and low birthweight.
conclusionWe did not observe an adverse impact of DET on gestational age or birthweight compared to SET in singleton live births from donor cycles. While reassuring, clinicians should continue to use SET in donor oocyte recipients to reduce the adverse impact of multiple pregnancy and all the associated adverse birth outcomes.
