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

After manufacturing changes, the safety and tolerability of the progesterone vaginal ring (PVR) was compared to findings from the similarly designed phase 3 trial. This prospective, open-label, single-arm, multi-center U.S. trial was conducted with women with tubal, idiopathic, male factor, ovulatory dysfunction, or endometriosis-linked infertility. Women underwent ovarian stimulation with highly purified human menotropin 225 IU/day in a standardized long agonist protocol. Weekly administration of PVR started the day after oocyte retrieval (OR), followed by ICSI and fresh blastocyst transfer, and continued for up to 10 weeks. The primary endpoint was spontaneous abortion rate, defined as 2 positive β-hCG tests and an empty intrauterine gestational sac or lacking a fetal heartbeat, or the absence of a viable fetus up to 12 weeks after OR. 254 women were treated with PVR at 14 sites July 2018-July 2019 (mean age 30.8 years, BMI 26.5 kg/m
