The prevalence of celiac disease in women with infertility-A systematic review with meta-analysis.
Article in Reproductive medicine and biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purposeTo determine the prevalence of celiac disease in infertile women.
methodsA systematic search of four databases was conducted up until February 6, 2020. The search terms "c(o)eliac disease", "gluten", "vill(o)us atrophy", "infertility" and "subfertility" yielded 1142 unique hits. Articles in other languages than English, conference abstracts, letters, and publications where relevant information was missing were excluded. In our main analysis, celiac disease had to be verified by duodenal biopsy. The titles and abstracts, and the full-text articles were independently reviewed by two researchers. A fixed-effect model was used to calculate the weighted prevalence.
resultsBased on 11 studies (1617 women), the pooled prevalence of biopsy-confirmed celiac disease was 0.7% (95% CI = 0.2%-1.2%) in women with any infertility. Restricting our study population to women with
conclusionOur results indicate that celiac disease is not more common in infertile women than in the general population. Celiac screening in infertile women may have low yield.
