1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Reproductive aging is characterized by a progressive decline of reproductive function, with broad implications for overall health and longevity. Environmental factors, including assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), can accelerate reproductive aging by promoting premature ovarian insufficiency in females. In vitro fertilization (IVF), though widely used and generally considered safe, has been associated with lasting effects on offspring health. Using a mouse model that closely approximates human IVF, we demonstrated that IVF accelerated reproductive aging in female offspring by inducing premature ovarian insufficiency. IVF-conceived female mice exhibited altered ovarian function, reduced follicle reserve, disrupted endocrine profiles, and transcriptomic and epigenetic changes consistent with premature reproductive decline. These findings reveal long-term consequences of IVF on female reproductive health and highlight the need to understand how early-life interventions influence reproductive longevity.
