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

Objective: There has been substantial research conducted recently on the effect of myo-inositol (MI) on human reproduction. However, it still remains ambiguous about the therapeutic efficacy of MI in infertile women undergoing Methods: Literatures were searched in the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect and Wanfang databases. The methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Data were pooled using a random- or fixed-effects model according to study heterogeneity. The results are expressed as odds ratio (OR) or mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Heterogeneity was measured by the I Results: Eleven eligible studies with 981 participants reported the IVF outcomes of the MI group versus the control group. The synthesis results showed that the metaphase II (MII) oocyte rate was higher in the MI group than in the control group (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.04-2.31, Conclusions: Our results suggest that MI supplementation improves the MII oocyte rate and the fertilization rate. More high-grade evidence from prospective randomized studies is warranted. Systematic review registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42024582149.
