Impact of butorphanol combined with propofol general anesthesia on laboratory indicators and reproductive outcomes in elderly patients undergoing oocyte retrieval.

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
This study investigates the impact of butorphanol combined with propofol general anesthesia on laboratory indicators and reproductive outcomes in elderly patients undergoing oocyte retrieval and explores the rationality and safety of its clinical application. A total of 3418 elderly infertile patients underwent transvaginal oocyte retrieval from November 2020 to October 2022. The patients were divided into a control group (non-anesthesia group, n = 250) and a study group (butorphanol combined with propofol general anesthesia group, n = 3168). The basic information (age and body mass index [BMI] of both partners, fertilization method), laboratory indicators (number of oocytes retrieved, fertilization rate, blastocyst formation rate, usable blastocyst rate), and early pregnancy outcome indicators (clinical pregnancy rate, ectopic pregnancy rate, early miscarriage rate) were compared between the 2 groups. There were no statistically significant differences in the age, BMI, and fertilization methods of the couples between the 2 groups (P > .05). The study group had a higher number of oocytes retrieved than the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P < .05). However, there were no statistically significant differences in fertilization rate, blastocyst formation rate, and usable blastocyst rate between the 2 groups (P > .05). There were no statistically significant differences in clinical pregnancy rate, ectopic pregnancy rate, and early miscarriage rate between the 2 groups (P > .05). Butorphanol combined with propofol general anesthesia can increase the number of oocytes retrieved in elderly patients undergoing oocyte retrieval without affecting other laboratory indicators or pregnancy outcomes, and it can be safely applied in clinical practice.
