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: Since 2023, our university hospital has incorporated hyaluronan-enriched transfer medium (HETM) into all frozen-thawed embryo transfers (FETs). This study aimed to evaluate whether HETM improved clinical pregnancy rates in FET, particularly in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Methods: We analyzed 368 FET cycles using a conventional hyaluronan-free transfer medium and 358 FET cycles using HETM, in which thawed embryos were incubated for 2-4 h before transfer. The main outcome was clinical pregnancy. Multiple logistic regression was used to evaluate the effectiveness of HETM. Results: The mean age of patients was 37.4 years (standard deviation = 4.2), and RIF, defined as failure to achieve pregnancy after two or more previous embryo transfers, accounted for 51.2%. Clinical pregnancy rates were significantly higher in the HETM group (37.7%) than in the control group (27.2%) ( Conclusion: This study demonstrates HETM use is associated with improved clinical pregnancy rates in FET, particularly in cases of RIF.
