A Clinical Assessment of the Outcomes of Intrauterine Insemination Based on Mid-cycle Luteinizing Hormone Levels.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 The reproductive system and the ovulation process depend heavily on the function of the luteinizing hormone (LH). The effect of irregular LH concentrations will impact how follicles mature, affect the release of oocytes, and impact the overall fertility outcomes. This study used clinical data to determine how LH levels affect the effectiveness of intrauterine insemination (IUI) to improve the assessment of fertility treatments. Methods Eighty women aged 25-40 years were enrolled in this observational study during their IUI treatment from February to August 2024. Serum testing tracked LH levels from baseline until the middle of the menstrual cycle for all the participants. We tracked essential data points, such as endometrial thickness, follicular dimensions, and the timing for the ovulation trigger. The study evaluated clinical pregnancy outcomes while investigating potential correlations between LH levels and follicle maturity, as well as the effect of LH measurements on improving the IUI timing. The research used t-tests and Pearson's correlation for statistical analysis. Results Women who experienced mid-cycle LH peaks within the recommended range achieved a clinical pregnancy rate of 23 (29.1%), which outperformed both low and high LH level groups (p=0.02). The results demonstrated that a timely LH surge positively correlated with mature follicle formation (r=0.36, p=0.008). Women who either failed to produce an LH surge or had early LH surges experienced decreased chances of successful conception. Conclusion The success rate of IUI depends heavily on the LH levels of patients. Clinical results for IUI patients can be improved by monitoring and optimizing LH timing for a better fertility response.
