Association of relative fat mass with female infertility: a cross-sectional study based on NHANES 2017-2020.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Relative Fat Mass (RFM) is an emerging body fat measurement index that more accurately reflects the distribution of visceral fat. This study aimed to investigate the association between RFM and female infertility. We utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 2017 to 2020, enrolling 1487 female participants aged 20-44. The relationship between RFM and infertility was analyzed using multivariate Logistic regression, and the dose-response relationship was assessed with Restricted Cubic Splines (RCS). The study found a significant association between RFM and infertility. After adjusting for confounders such as age, ethnicity, and BMI, each unit increase in RFM was associated with a 6% increase in the risk of infertility (OR = 1.06, 95%CI = 1.01-1.12, P = 0.019), with stable results across different subgroups. RFM is significantly associated with female infertility and may serve as a useful tool in infertility screening. Future studies should further validate its potential for clinical application.
