Efficacy of intraovarian autologous platelet-rich plasma in women with poor ovarian reserve or ovarian insufficiency: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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
Background: Poor ovarian reserve and ovarian insufficiency pose major challenges in reproductive medicine, with limited effective therapeutic options. Intraovarian autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has shown potential benefits, but its efficacy remains uncertain based on current randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: This review followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251233432). We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane Central, Embase, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang up to November 22, 2025, for randomized controlled trials of intraovarian autologous PRP in women with diminished ovarian reserve or ovarian insufficiency. Meta-analyses were performed using Stata 16, with heterogeneity assessed by the I² statistic. Risk of bias and study quality were evaluated using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool and the PEDro scale. Primary outcomes included serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), antral follicle count (AFC), and pregnancy rates. Results: This meta-analysis included seven RCTs involving 422 women with poor ovarian reserve or ovarian insufficiency/failure. PRP treatment was associated with significant improvements in several ovarian reserve-related parameters: AFC increased (MD = 0.81, 95% CI 0.31 to 1.30; I² = 41.63%), AMH increased (SMD = 0.91, 95% CI 0.41 to 1.42; I² = 54.32%), FSH decreased (MD = -5.72, 95% CI -7.03 to -4.41; I² = 0.00%), and estradiol increased (MD = 26.03, 95% CI 19.53 to 32.53; I² = 0.22%). However, PRP treatment did not significantly improve pregnancy rates compared with controls. Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggests that intraovarian PRP may improve ovarian reserve-related markers in women with poor ovarian reserve or ovarian insufficiency/failure, but it does not appear to increase pregnancy rates significantly. These findings should be interpreted cautiously because of the limited number of studies and heterogeneity in treatment protocols, and current evidence remains insufficient to define the optimal PRP regimen or the patient subgroups most likely to benefit.
