In vitro fertilization outcomes in previously cured tuberculosis patients: a retrospective study.
Article 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
backgroundTo investigate whether cured tuberculosis affect assisted reproductive outcomes in infertile women.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted to compare assisted reproductive outcomes between cured tuberculosis and non-tuberculosis patients. The primary outcomes were compared between fresh and frozen-thaw cycles in cured tuberculosis, as well as among different types of tuberculosis in fresh cycles.
resultsIn IVF and total patients, the pregnancy (P > 0.05) and live birth rates (P > 0.05) did not differ between tuberculosis and control group. However, in ICSI protocol, the pregnancy (P = 0.027) and live birth rates (P = 0.027) in tuberculosis group were lower than those in controls. The pregnancy rate in fresh cycles for tuberculosis patients was lower than in frozen-thaw cycles in each protocol (P = 0.001). The live birth rate in fresh cycles was higher than in frozen-thaw cycles in IVF patients (P = 0.008) and total patients (P = 0.015), while the live birth rate in fresh cycles was lower in ICSI patients (P = 0.011). The pregnancy rate (P > 0.05) and live birth rate (P > 0.05) among cured patients diagnosed with pelvic tuberculosis demonstrated no significant difference compared to those with pulmonary tuberculosis or other types.
conclusionsCured tuberculosis did not affect the primary assisted reproductive outcomes in infertile patients using IVF protocol. However, in ICSI protocol, tuberculosis had a negative impact on pregnancy outcomes in infertile women, even with treatment. The final pregnancy outcome of frozen-thaw cycle was worse than that of fresh cycle in IVF protocol but opposite in ICSI. If treated, there were no variations in pregnancy outcomes among different tuberculosis types.
