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
Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of endometrial and uterine artery blood flow parameters, combined with clinical indicators, for embryo implantation outcomes in PCOS patients undergoing IVF-ET across different BMI categories. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 129 PCOS patients who underwent IVF-ET at our hospital from June 2022 to June 2025. Participants were stratified into four BMI groups. Transvaginal ultrasound parameters and clinical data were statistically analyzed. Results: Significant differences were observed in endometrial thickness, morphological patterns, blood flow distribution, and uterine artery blood flow parameters across different BMI groups. The obese group exhibited a tendency toward thinner endometrium, a lower proportion of type A endometrial morphology, reduced endometrial perfusion, and a higher uterine artery resistance index. Logistic regression analysis identified high endometrial blood flow grade, abundant endometrial blood flow, and a greater number of high-quality embryos as protective factors for successful embryo implantation following IVF-ET in patients with PCOS (all P<0.05). Conversely, advanced age was associated with an increased risk of implantation failure (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that a multivariable model incorporating endometrial blood flow grade, endometrial blood flow quantity, number of high-quality embryos, and age had strong predictive performance for implantation success (AUC = 0.917). Conclusion: Weight management before assisted reproduction is clinically important. Overweight patients should monitor endometrial and uterine artery blood flow parameters and receive targeted interventions to improve pregnancy outcomes.
