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 success of assisted reproductive technology (ART) relies on the quality of embryos, particularly the euploid status, which is influenced by controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocols. In recent years, the progesterone-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol has gained popularity due to its potential benefits. However, the impact of PPOS on euploid embryo rates (EER) and reproductive outcomes remains incompletely understood. Therefore, we conducted this review to comprehensively assess this impact by comparing the PPOS with conventional COH protocols in PGT cycles. The results revealed that the PPOS protocol demonstrated comparable EER and reproductive outcomes to conventional COH protocols in the general population. Among patients with a good prognosis, EER and associated reproductive outcomes with PPOS may be less favorable. However, in individuals with a poor prognosis, PPOS showed comparable or even superior outcomes. Additionally, the timing of cycle initiation, whether in the follicular or luteal phase, had no significant impact on clinical outcomes in patients with diverse ovarian responses.
