Understanding the Associations of Urogenital Microbiomes With Fertility and In Vitro Fertilization.
Review in American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Infertility, defined as the inability to establish a clinical pregnancy after a year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse, impacts 8%-12% of couples worldwide. Many of these couples turn to in vitro fertilization (IVF) to build their families. The success rate of IVF procedures is variable, with estimates of up to 40% of embryo transfers being unsuccessful. Herein we review the existing literature on the role of the female and male urogenital microbiomes and genital inflammation on fertility and IVF outcomes. We discuss the microbiome across the female reproductive tract (FRT) and identify associations with female infertility, female genital tract inflammation, and success of IVF procedures. We also discuss the male urogenital microbiome and the associations between microbial taxa, genital inflammation, and male fertility parameters. Finally, we consider microbial transfer within couples and the impact this may have on fertility and the success of IVF procedures.
