However, there remains no consensus on the optimal practice, with high variations among fertility specialists.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aiming to identify effective interventions that could be introduced around the time of ET to improve reproductive outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>SEARCH METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We searched the electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL) from inception until March 2021 using a multi-stage search strategy of MeSH terms and keywords, and included all RCTs that evaluated an intervention in the 24-h period before\/after ET in women undergoing IVF\/ICSI. Our primary outcome was clinical pregnancy rate post-ET confirmed as viable pregnancy on ultrasound scan. We assessed the risk of bias in included trials and extracted data in duplicate. We pooled data using a random-effect meta-analysis and reported using risk ratio (RR) with 95% CI. We explored publication bias and effect modifiers using subgroup analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OUTCOMES<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our search yielded 3685 citations of which we included 188 RCTs (38 interventions, 59\u00a0530 participants) with a median sample size of 200 (range 26\u20131761). The quality of included RCTs was moderate with most showing a low risk of bias for randomization (118\/188, 62.8%) and attrition (105\/188, 55.8%) but there was a significant risk of publication bias (Egger\u2019s test P\u2009=\u20090.001). Performing ET with ultrasound guidance versus clinical touch (n\u2009=\u200924, RR 1.265, 95% CI 1.151\u20131.391, I2\u2009=\u200938.53%), hyaluronic acid versus routine care (n\u2009=\u20099, RR 1.457, 95% CI 1.197\u20131.261, I2\u2009=\u200946.48%) and the use of a soft versus hard catheter (n\u2009=\u200927, RR 1.122, 95% CI 1.028\u20131.224, I2\u2009=\u200957.66%) led to higher clinical pregnancy rates. Other pharmacological add-ons also showed a beneficial effect including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF: n\u2009=\u20094, RR 1.774, 95% CI 1.252\u20132.512, I2\u2009=\u20090), Atosiban (n\u2009=\u20097, RR 1.493, 95% CI 1.184\u20131.882, I2\u2009=\u200968.27%) and hCG (n\u2009=\u200917, RR 1.232, 95% CI 1.099\u20131.382, I2\u2009=\u200957.76%). Bed rest following ET was associated with a reduction in clinical pregnancy (n\u2009=\u20096, RR 0.857, 95% CI 0.741\u20130.991, I2\u2009=\u20090.01%). Other commonly used interventions, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, prophylactic antibiotics, acupuncture and cervical mucus removal, did not show a significant benefit on reproductive outcomes. Our effect estimates for other important outcomes, including miscarriage and live birth, were limited by the varied reporting across included RCTs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>WIDER IMPLICATIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using ultrasound guidance, soft catheters and hyaluronic acid at the time of ET appears to increase clinical pregnancy rates. The use of Atosiban, G-CSF and hCG showed a trend towards increased clinical pregnancy rate, but larger trials are required before adopting these interventions in clinical practice. Bed rest post-ET was associated with a reduction in clinical pregnancy and should not be recommended.<\/jats:p>\n
