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

purposeTo evaluate whether genetic variants in genes involved in folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis are associated with ovarian response in Vietnamese and Caucasian women undergoing IVF/ICSI.

methodsThis was a post hoc analysis of a prospective multicenter study including patients < 38 years old with normal ovarian reserve markers undergoing their first or second ovarian stimulation cycle. All patients were genotyped for 67 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and underwent ovarian stimulation with a fixed 150 IU rFSH dose. Primary outcomes were the number of oocytes retrieved, hypo-response (< 10 oocytes), follicular output rate (FORT), follicle-to-oocyte index (FOI), and steroid hormone levels on trigger day.

resultsA total of 368 patients were included. Multivariable regression identified novel associations between ovarian response and SNVs in GPER (rs3808350), ATF7IP (rs3213764), YWHAZ (rs10098502), COMT (rs4680), TCN2 (rs1801198), GNA11 (rs8092), APLP2 (rs2054247), AP4E1 (rs4775912), SMARCA4 (rs1122608), IGF1R (rs2016347), DENND1A (rs2479106), and BMP15 (rs3897937). Previously reported associations with LHB rs1056917, AMH rs4807216, and AMHR2 rs2002555 were also confirmed.

conclusionsThis study supports a role for multiple genetic variants in modulating ovarian response to stimulation, providing a basis for future work toward personalized ovarian stimulation protocols. However, the post hoc design limits causal inference, and prospective validation is warranted.
