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

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of serum vitamin D levels on Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with PCOS who underwent IVF therapy and received fresh embryo transfer for the first time. The enrolled cohort was divided into two groups based on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels: Vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL) and vitamin D replete-insufficiency (25(OH)D ≥ 20 ng/mL). The primary outcome was clinical pregnancy. The secondary outcomes were the number of oocytes retrieved, MII oocytes, fertilized embryos, available embryos, high-quality embryos, blastocysts formed, and live birth rates. Results: This study included 613 patients who underwent their first IVF-ET cycle. Clinical pregnancy rates were significantly lower in patients with PCOS who had vitamin D deficiency than in those who had vitamin D replete-insufficiency [58.3% (211/367) versus 67.1% (163/246); Conclusion: This study suggests that vitamin D deficiency leads to lower clinical pregnancy rates in patients with PCOS undergoing IVF-ET. Furthermore, the serum vitamin D level is independently associated with clinical pregnancy rates in patients with PCOS undergoing IVF-ET.
