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
backgroundObesity stands as an essential factor contributing to infertility in women. Early identification of obese individuals leads to favorable results for female infertility. The objective of this research is to assess the association between the age-adjusted visceral adiposity index (AVAI) and female infertility.
methodsThis study was conducted using NHANES data from 2013 to 2018, in which 1,231 women aged 20-45 were selected. Infertility was defined by survey questions. AVAI was calculated using anthropometric and serum data. Covariates included demographics and lifestyle factors. Statistical analysis with R, adjusting for covariates, and assessing nonlinearity and cutoff effects.
resultsThe study of 1,231 women from the NHANES database revealed that 11.94% were diagnosed with infertility. Individuals with higher AVAI scores showed increased age, WC, BMI, and reduced HDL levels, with a positive correlation between AVAI and female infertility (OR = 1.42, 95%CI: 1.26-1.60). AVAI quartiles showed a pronounced relationship with female infertility risk, with the highest quartile showing the greatest risk(OR = 9.35,95% CI: 2.96-29.55). Nonlinear and threshold effects in the relationship between AVAI and female infertility were identified, with an inflection point at -9.70. Subgroup analyses indicated significant interactions between AVAI and educational status and BMI, particularly in women with a BMI below 25 kg/m
conclusionThe study identifies a strong association between elevated AVAI scores and female infertility risk, especially in women with a BMI under 25 kg/m
