Urine Progesterone Level as a Diagnostics Tool to Evaluate the Need for Luteal Phase Rescue in Hormone Replacement Therapy Frozen Embryo Transfer Cycles.
Observational study in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Additional progesterone administration during the luteal phase enhances reproductive outcomes in Hormone Replacement Therapy Frozen Embryo Transfer (HRT-FET) cycles in patients with low serum progesterone (P4). In this study we wanted to explore the use of urine P4 as a diagnostic tool during the luteal phase. This prospective observational cohort included a total of 464 HRT-FET cycles. The protocol entailed oral oestradiol (6 mg/24 h), followed by vaginal micronised progesterone (400 mg/12 h). On the day of blastocyst transfer, urine and serum samples were collected. Urine samples were analysed using an ARCHITECT automated immunoassay. A significant difference was found in median urine P4 between patients with serum P4 higher or lower than 11 ng/mL: 6400 ng/mL IQR [2528; 11,930] vs. 3408 ng/mL IQR [592; 6688],
