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 investigate the relationship between serum progesterone (P) on the day of embryo transfer (ET) and pregnancy outcomes in patients classified as POSEIDON Group 1. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Reproductive Center of Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital between January 2016 and December 2023, enrolling 402 patients undergoing single or double ET on day 3 or day 5. Serum P and estradiol (E Results: The 10th and 90th percentiles of serum P on the day of ET were 9.45 ng/mL and 23.32 ng/mL, respectively. The clinical pregnancy rate was highest in the 9.45-23.32 ng/mL group and decreased significantly when serum P exceeded 23.32 ng/mL. After adjusting for confounders, multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that high serum P (≥23.32 ng/mL) was independently associated with a lower clinical pregnancy rate (adjusted OR = 1.454, 95% CI: 1.032-2.048, Conclusions: Serum P on the day of ET was significantly associated with clinical pregnancy rate in POSEIDON Group 1 patients, and BMI significantly modified this association. High serum P was linked to a lower clinical pregnancy rate in normal-weight patients, but not in overweight/obese patients. These findings support the implementation of individualized luteal support strategies based on serum P and BMI stratification.
