1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundOverweight and obesity can induce an inflammatory milieu in the oocyte microenvironment and are closely associated with reduced assisted reproductive outcomes.

objectiveHow are immune cells, cytokines and lipid profiles altered in the pre-ovulatory microenvironment of overweight and obese women?

methods32 women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) were included, with 14 overweight or obese (OW) and 18 normal weight (NW) participants. Serum was collected before ovulation induction, follicular fluid (FF) and aspirates were obtained during oocyte retrieval for flow cytometry, cytokines, hormone, and lipid profiles measurement. Clinical outcomes were recorded through a one-year follow-up.

resultsThe percentage of T cells in the pre-ovulatory follicular microenvironment, especially CD4

conclusionOverweight and obesity can disrupt immune hemostasis in the pre-ovulatory follicular microenvironment, potentially leading to adverse effects on assisted reproductive outcomes.
