  Absolute chance/risk (95% CI)a RR (95% CI) N participants/studies Interpretation Quality of evidence
  Vaginal progesterone capsules Oral dydrogesterone        
Live birth/Ongoing pregnancy 24% 25% (22-30%) 1.08 (0.92-1.26) 3,386/8 Dydrogesterone is better or no clinically relevant difference High
Clinical pregnancy 28% 31% (27-36%) 1.10 (0.95-1.27) 4,061/9 Dydrogesterone is better or no clinically relevant difference High
Miscarriage per clinical pregnancy 17% 16% (11-21%) 0.92 (0.68-1.26) 988/8 No clinically relevant difference Moderate1
Dissatisfaction One study showing a large reduction (RR=0.10, 95%CI=0.02-0.39) and the other study showing no significant difference (RR=1.19, 95%CI=0.46-3.04)
All outcomes, except miscarriage, were analyzed per randomized women.
CI = confidence interval; RR = relative risk;
a = The absolute risk in the Vaginal Progesterone group was determined as the mean risk in these groups; the absolute risk in the Oral Dydrogesterone group and its 95% CI was determined using the RR and its 95% CI;
