Endometrial thickness and live birth rates after IVF: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
aimThis study aims to systematically review the current literature on published studies with data on the clinical significance of endometrial thickness on ultrasound for live birth rates after IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
methodsAn extensive systematic review of PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Open Gray databases, and following hand-search of the reference list of the included studies was performed.
resultsWe found 20 eligible studies that evaluated 20 546 patients for endometrial thickness, presented risk factors for decreased endometrial receptivity, and IVF outcomes with fresh and frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. The mean age of the patients ranged from 28.86 to 41.03 years. Reported endometrial thickness ranged from <4 mm to >15 mm. The clinical pregnancy rate varied from 9,09% to 61,49% in fresh embryo transfer cycles and from 13,3% to 79,31% in FET cycles. Overall, LBR varied between 4,80% and 48,99% in fresh embryo cycles and between 6.06% and 39,19% in FET cycles. LIMITATIONS: Only English-language studies were included; most studies were from the China region; retrospective study design used in most studies; different ET thresholds, which in turn could significantly alter the correlation with pregnancy outcomes; different IVF procedure protocols in fresh or FET cycles.
conclusionsIVF outcomes in patients with impaired endometrial receptivity do not depend only on the condition of the endometrium. Risk factors and endometrial thickness significantly affect LBR in fresh and FET cycles.
