Review in Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04175002 (Endometrial Heparin-binding Epidermal Growth Factor Expression in Implantation Window of Obese Women With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), which is not on this map. Cited by 58 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Successful embryonic implantation is the result of a receptive endometrium, a functional embryo at the blastocyst stage and a synchronized dialog between maternal and embryonic tissues. Successful implantation requires the endometrium to undergo steroid-dependent change during each menstrual cycle, exhibiting a short period of embryonic receptivity known as the window of implantation. The term "endometrial receptivity" was introduced to define the state of the endometrium during the window of implantation. It refers to the ability of the endometrium to undergo changes that will allow the blastocyst to attach, penetrate, and induce localized changes in the endometrial stroma. These changes are metabolically demanding, and glucose metabolism has been proven to be important for the preparation of the endometrium for embryo implantation. Obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) represent 2 common metabolic disorders that are associated with subfertility. The aim of this review is to summarize the effect of obesity and PCOS on endometrial receptivity at the time of implantation. Focus will be on metabolic alterations that regulate decidualization, including glucose metabolism, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperandrogenism.
