Pregnancy predictors after intrauterine insemination: analysis of 3012 cycles in 1201 couples.
Article in Journal of reproduction & infertility, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIntrauterine insemination (IUI) is the first therapeutic step in assisted reproductive techniques and many factors, including male and female infertility and technique-dependent factors, have been reported to influence pregnancy rates after IUI.
methodsWe carried out this retrospective study on 1201 couples undergoing 3012 intrauterine insemination cycles during 2002 to 2009. Pregnancy rate per cycle in terms of female infertility factors, male infertility factors, and technique-dependent factors were evaluated. The χ (2) , t-test, Kaplan-meier method, and multiple logistics regression model, were used for data analysis. The p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsThe highest pregnancy rates were obtained in cases whose infertility duration was shorter (p < 0.05), Body Mass Index (BMI) was ≥25 (p < 0.05), FSH < 9 IU/L (p < 0.05), anovulation due to polycystic ovary syndrome (p < 0.05), donor sperm was used due to azoospermia (p < 0.01), three IUI cycles (p < 0.01), at least two follicles were recruited through controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (p < 0.01), and where higher total doses of FSH were administered as necessary (p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study characterizes predictors of pregnancy following IUI, for cases with shorter periods of infertility, BMI of 25 or more, FSH value below 9 IU/L, anovulation, donor sperm and performance of three intrauterine insemination cycles.
