Contributions of authors

AEP Cantineau did the literature search and selected relevant trials for inclusion in the review. She also performed the statistical analyses and wrote the bulk of the results and discussion section. She analysed articles for the update of the review, updated the review in 2008 and advised on the structure, text and interpretation of the 2013 draft of the review.

MJ Heineman was the second review author for selection of relevant trials for inclusion. For the update, he analysed the selected articles. He also contributed to drafts of the review.

BJ Cohlen together with JH Evers and H Al‐Inany took the lead in writing the original protocol for this review, was the third review author and resolved any disagreements between the first two review authors. He also contributed to drafts of the review and contributed to the update of the review.

C Farquhar selected the studies, extracted the data and advised on the structure, text and interpretation of the 2013 draft of the review.

J Marjoribanks selected the studies, extracted the data and drafted the 2013 update of the review.

Differences between protocol and review

2013 update.

  • Methods were updated in accordance with current Cochrane methodological standards.

  • Participant inclusion criteria were widened to "non‐tubal infertility".

  • OHSS was deleted as an outcome.

  • Sensitivity analysis was conducted for clinical pregnancy rather than live birth because only three studies reported live birth.

  • Both per‐couple (main analysis) and per‐pregnancy (sensitivity analysis) analyses were conducted for multiple pregnancy, miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.

  • A random‐effects model was used if substantial heterogeneity was detected (I2 > 50%).

Outcome

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Para saber más sobre el uso del modelo PICO, puede consultar el Manual Cochrane.

*The basis for the assumed risk (the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: Confidence interval; OR: Odds ratio.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence.
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1One of the three studies did not describe method of allocation concealment and 19% of women in this study had mild tubal damage.
2Imprecision: Confidence intervals cross the line of no effect and do not exclude an appreciable benefit or harm.
3Most studies failed to provide adequate details of methods of sequence generation and allocation concealment.
4Unexplained statistical heterogeneity (I2 = 52%).
5Very serious imprecision.
