Association between female cardiometabolic index and infertility: a population-based study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Visceral fat accumulation and dyslipidaemia are associated with infertility symptoms. The cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a comprehensive quantitative measure of central obesity and dyslipidaemia. However, the link between the female CMI and the couple infertility needs to be explored further. Hence, this study aimed to dissect this connection. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional approach to select 1,641 female participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which was conducted between 2013 and 2020. The natural log-transformed CMI (In-CMI) was used to consider the non-normal distribution of CMI. Logistic regression models adjusted for covariates were employed to investigate the association between the In-CMI and couple infertility. Results: After adjusting for all covariates, each 1 unit increase in the In-CMI was associated with a 34% increase in the incidence of infertility (odds ratio [OR] 1.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10-1.64, Conclusion: The female CMI is linked to the incidence of couple infertility. Moreover, the female CMI shows significant medical significance for assessing couple infertility risk of childbearing age.
