“…analysis, the outcomes remained similar (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.96-1.05; 10 trials,18,19,[24][25][26][28][29][30][31][32] 964 patients, I 2 =23%).A subgroup analysis comparing the SDP with the multi-dose protocol demonstrated no significant difference in the ectopic pregnancy treatment success rate, although the SDP tended to have a higher success rate than the multi-dose protocol (RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.96-1.08; six trials,18,19,24,25,28,29 626 patients, I 2 =43%) (Fig. S1).A subgroup analysis comparing the SDP with the two-dose protocol also showed no significant difference in the success rate (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.89-1.03; five trials, 23,24,27-29 495 patients, I 2 =0%).Similar results were obtained in a subgroup analysis comparing the SDP with the two-dose protocol with exclusion of the study byHamed et al 27 (RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.88-1.04; four trials, 26,30-32 251 patients, I 2 =0%).A subgroup analysis assessing ectopic pregnancies with implantation at any site revealed no significant differences in treatment success among the groups (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.93-1.07; six trials,18,19,24,26,30,31 595 patients, I 2 =50%) (Fig. S2).…”
