From genes to generations: genetic evaluation and counseling for infertility and pregnancy loss.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 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
Introduction: Understanding the genetics of reproductive disorders is key to improving diagnosis, treatment, and overall reproductive health. This study aimed to describe the characteristics, assessment, investigations, and recommendations in patients seeking genetic counseling for infertility and pregnancy loss. Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study that included couples who presented to the Genetic Disease Clinic, University Hospital, King Abdullah Medical City, Bahrain, with a chief complaint of infertility or pregnancy loss over 13 years from 2012 to 2024. Results: Out of 912 patients who approached the clinic, 175 records (19.2%) belonged to couples (n = 350) who visited the clinic with infertility or pregnancy loss. Eighty couples (45.7%) were diagnosed with primary infertility, while 95 couples (54.3%) were diagnosed with secondary infertility. The mean marriage duration before visits was 7.7 ± 4.9 years. Meanwhile, 19 couples were identified as having advanced age in both partners (10.9%), 30 couples with advanced maternal age (17.1%), and 11 couples with advanced paternal age (6.3%). Additionally, couples with secondary infertility had an average of 1.6 pregnancies, with a mean of 1.4 early pregnancy losses. A male factor was identified in 30.3% of the couples (n = 53) and a combination of both male and female factors was reported in 52.0% (n = 91). Infertility and pregnancy loss were attributed to chromosomal aberrations solely in 27.4% of the couples (n = 48) and to monogenic carrier status in 14.3% of the couples (n = 25). Exome sequencing and gene panels were recommended and/or conducted in 49 couples (28%). Conclusion: A couple's genetic profile significantly impacts fertility potential and outcomes. Genetic counseling, screening, and diagnostic testing enable timely and personalized interventions.
