Failure to Detect Viral RNA in Follicular Fluid Aspirates from a SARS-CoV-2-Positive Woman.
Article in Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Although there is no known difference between the clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant and non-pregnant women based on the studies published until now, in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments were suspended during the pandemic due to uncertainties with the suggestions of associated societies. However, we do not have enough data on the exact effects of SARS-CoV-2 on fertility and pregnancy and whether there are damaging effects on IVF outcome. There is no available evidence about the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by either sexual way or through intrauterine insemination (IUI) or IVF. Up until now, there is no report to document the presence or absence of viral RNA in follicular fluid of SARS-CoV-2-positive women. In this paper, we present a case of oocyte retrieval from a SARS-CoV-2-positive woman and the search for viral RNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the follicular fluid aspirates.
