Associations between sleep quality and assisted reproductive technology outcomes: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2026. 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
backgroundSleep quality has been shown to be strongly associated with a variety of health outcomes, but its role in assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment outcomes has not been clarified. The study aims to systematically evaluate the relationship between sleep quality and the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology.
methodsThis study systematically searched databases such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from its inception to 1 April 2025 to screen observational studies assessing the relationship between sleep quality and ART outcomes. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and meta-analysis was performed using Stata 15.0 software.
resultsA total of 8 studies (N = 6754) were included to assess the relationship between good sleep quality and clinical pregnancy, and the combined analysis showed that good sleep significantly increased the clinical pregnancy rate [OR = 1.53, 95% CI (1.16, 2.03)]; sensitivity analysis suggested that Liu (2023) was the main source of heterogeneity, and heterogeneity declined to 33.2% after exclusion, which resulted in a stable outcome [OR = 1.59, 95% CI (1.28, 1.96)]. 3 studies evaluated the relationship between good sleep and embryo implantation rate, and the results showed that good sleep significantly increased the implantation rate [OR = 1.41, 95% CI (1.04, 1.92)]. 2 studies investigated the relationship between good sleep and live birth rate, and the results did not show any statistical difference [OR = 0.84, 95% CI (0.44, 1.61)].
conclusionsGood sleep quality is associated with higher clinical pregnancy and implantation rates in couples undergoing ART. Its effect on live birth remains inconclusive and warrants further investigation.
