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

purposeThe goal of this study is to determine factors associated with fetal heartbeat and live birth rate for euploid frozen embryo transfers.

methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study of IVF patients at a single private practice in Cincinnati, Ohio undergoing single frozen euploid embryo transfer from 1/1/2023 to 7/31/2025. Variables assessed are embryo transfer protocol, genetic testing laboratory, physician who performed the embryo transfer, and embryologist. The main outcomes of interest are fetal heartbeat and live birth rate per single euploid frozen embryo transfer.

resultsFetal heartbeat rate was significantly associated with the frozen embryo transfer protocol (p < 0.01). Modified natural FET protocols without oral medication (such as letrozole) had the highest fetal heartbeat rate of 66% compared to the average fetal heartbeat rate of 52%. Fetal heartbeat rate was also associated with the genetic testing laboratory (p < 0.01) and the day of embryo biopsy (p < 0.01). Fetal heartbeat was not associated with any of the other modifiable measures evaluated including the embryologist performing the biopsy or the physician performing the embryo transfer.

conclusionAt our center, the highest ongoing pregnancy rate per euploid embryo is seen with modified natural FET protocols without oral medication (such as letrozole).
