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

Objective: To compare the effects of frozen-thawed embryo transfer at different times after hysteroscopic endometrial polyp resection on pregnancy outcomes and to provide evidence for individualized clinical treatment. Methods: This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study involving 756 infertile patients who underwent hysteroscopic polypectomy for endometrial polyps from 2023 to 2024 and underwent natural cycle frozen-thawed embryo transfer for the first time after surgery, divided into two groups: Group A (178 cases) underwent transfer during the menstrual cycle after the operation, while Group B (578 cases) underwent transfer after next menses after the operation. Baseline characteristics, clinical pregnancy rate, live birth rate and miscarriage rate were compared between the two groups. Additionally, a correlation analysis between the interval from surgery to embryo transfer and pregnancy outcomes in the immediate transfer group. Results: There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics such as age, BMI, AMH level between the two groups. Unadjusted, there were no statistically significant differences in clinical pregnancy rate (60.7% vs. 58.3%), live birth rate (57.9% vs. 56.4%), early miscarriage rate (2.8% vs. 8.9%), and late miscarriage rate (1.9% vs. 2.7%) between group A and group B (all Conclusion: There was no significant difference in pregnancy outcomes between frozen-thawed embryo transfer in the current menstrual cycle and the next menstrual cycle after hysteroscopic endometrial polyp resection, and the choice of transfer timing was not a key factor affecting pregnancy outcomes. For patients with special clinical needs, transplanting in the same menstrual cycle after surgery is a feasible option, which helps to shorten the waiting time and reduce mental stress.
