Investigating Unilateral Ovarian Endometrioma's Effect on Ova and Embryo Quality in 409 Infertile Endometriotic Patients.

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
Purpose: In women with unilateral endometriosis, how do ovarian endometriomas and their inflammatory content affect oocyte and embryo quality in affected versus healthy ovaries, and what is the impact on ART outcomes? Methods: This study, conducted from March 2022 to March 2024 at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, assessed infertility outcomes in patients with unilateral endometriomas. It analyzed reproductive parameters (total follicles, oocytes, and embryos quantity and quality) from affected and healthy ovaries, while considering endometrioma size and AMH levels. Results: This study analyzed ovum pickups and ART outcomes in 409 women with unilateral ovarian endometriosis, revealing critical insights into reproductive performance. Participants had an average age of 33.55 years and a basal AMH level of 2.26 ng/dL, categorized into poor (25.2%), normal (57.2%), and high (17.6%) responders based on their AMH levels. Comparison of outcomes showed that healthy ovaries yielded significantly more MII oocytes, total embryos, and Grade C embryos than affected ovaries, although no significant differences were found across various endometrioma sizes regarding follicular development and egg/embryo quality ( Conclusion: Endometriomas lead to fewer M2, total fertilization rate. However, embryo quality remains unchanged. Future studies should compare ART outcomes in operated and non-operated ovaries and assess deep infiltrating endometriosis's impact on egg quality and quantity.
