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 describe a rare case of mature oocyte retrieval without an exogenous trigger during random-start controlled ovarian stimulation (RS-COS) coinciding with a very early intrauterine pregnancy. Design: Case report. Subject: A 32-year-old para 1 patient with inflammatory breast cancer (grade 3, T4N2M0, ER/PR negative, HER2 3+, Ki-67 60%). Exposure: Luteal-phase RS-COS using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol with human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) 300 IU daily. Egg retrieval was performed on day 12 after stimulation. Main Outcome Measures: Number and maturity of oocytes retrieved; occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Results: On day 10 of stimulation, 25 follicles measuring ≥12 mm were seen, of which 18 were in the right ovary. A gestational sac was seen in the uterine cavity. The serum human chorionic gonadotropin level was 2,563 IU/L. Oocyte retrieval from the right ovary was performed without administering a trigger. Nine metaphase II oocytes were retrieved and vitrified; mild clinical OHSS occurred. Conclusion: This case demonstrates that it may be possible to perform COS in early pregnancy and be able to retrieve mature oocytes without the use of an exogenous trigger. To our knowledge, there are no previous published reports of multiple metaphase II oocyte retrieval without an exogenous trigger during RS-COS.
