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
purposeTo evaluate whether artificial endometrial preparation using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) influences clinical and neonatal outcomes compared with modified natural cycles (mNC) in single euploid vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfers.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed single euploid vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfers performed at a single IVF center over an 11-year period. Endometrial preparation was conducted either through HRT or mNC. Clinical and neonatal outcomes were compared between groups. Statistical analyses included multivariable logistic regression models, adjusted for relevant confounders, with generalized estimating equations to account for repeated embryo transfers (ETs) within patients.
resultsA total of 3507 ETs were conducted in 2257 patients. Mean age was 37.5 ± 3.2 years at oocyte pick-up and 37.8 ± 3.3 years at ET. HRT was associated with a higher miscarriage rate (N = 167/1034, 16.2% vs N = 70/700, 10%; OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.27-2.33) and a lower live birth rate (N = 867/2129, 40.7% vs N = 630/1378, 45.7%; OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.72-0.96) than mNC. Additionally, HRT was associated with a higher prevalence of large for gestational age newborns.
conclusionsmNC endometrial preparation may show some clinical benefit compared to HRT. The latter remains necessary in specific cases, such as hypothalamic amenorrhea (excluded in this study), but mNC protocols should be preferred whenever possible. Randomized controlled trials in Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) cycles are essential to confirm these findings.
