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

Background: Recurrent implantation failure in assisted reproductive technology is a major challenge. Intrauterine human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) infusion and hyaluronic acid enriched embryo transfer media have shown individual effects, but their combined effect in these cases undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer is unknown. Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of combined therapy on pregnancy outcomes. Materials and Methods: This is a single-blind, randomized controlled trial on 158 participants. The cases were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (pretransfer intrauterine hCG infusion and embryo loaded with hyaluronic acid-enriched embryo transfer medium at the time of transfer) or the control group (standard embryo transfer medium). The outcomes were chemical and clinical pregnancy rates, implantation, abortion, and ongoing pregnancy rates. Results: A total of 158 participants were enrolled in this study in 2 equal groups. The intervention did not significantly improve the overall pregnancy rate compared to control (24% vs. 33.7%, p = 0.30). The results showed that, by controlling variables, the chance of clinical pregnancy in the intervention group was 12% lower than in the control group, although the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.879). With each increase in the number of embryos, the chance of a pregnancy would be 2.26 times higher. Also, the chance of pregnancy in the morula stage was 68% lower than in the cleavage stage (p Conclusion: The combined approach of intrauterine hCG infusion and the hyaluronan-enriched embryo transfer medium did not significantly improve the overall pregnancy rate but had a significant effect on specific cases using the embryo at the cleavage stage for transfer and cases that received more than one embryo for transfer.
