Effects of hCG-to-oocyte retrieval interval on oocyte performances in women with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing progestin-primed ovarian stimulation: a retrospective cohort trial.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2026. 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
purposeTo investigate the optimal interval time between hCG and oocyte retrieval in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women undergoing progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS).
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included a total of 537 PCOS women undergoing PPOS cycles between January 2021 and July 2023 at a university-affiliated reproductive center. Patients were divided into three groups according to the quartiles of post-trigger intervals (Q1:36.0-36.60 h; Q2-3: 36.61-37.20 h; Q4: 37.21-38.0 h). The oocyte performances and pregnancy outcomes were compared among the three intervals.
resultsThe number of mature oocytes in the Q4 group was increased compared to the other two groups (15.20 ± 7.87 vs. 12.43 ± 6.35 vs. 13.86 ± 7.46, P < 0.05), but the mature oocyte yield from follicles > 10 mm on the trigger day was comparable among the three groups (64.47 ± 27.18% vs. 63.18 ± 24.95% vs. 63.34 ± 25.54%, P > 0.05). The comparison of live birth outcomes was found no significant difference among the three groups (69.6% vs. 65.9% vs. 75.8%, P > 0.05).
conclusionThe prolongation of the time intervals between hCG and oocyte retrieval from 36.0 to 38.0 h in PPOS cycles did not show an obvious improvement in terms of oocyte performances and pregnancy outcomes in the PCOS women. More well-designed prospective trials are necessary to verify the benefits and risks of prolonged intervals in PPOS cycles in the PCOS women.
