Body mass index is not associated with donor oocyte recipient success: an ideal study using a paired analysis of sibling-oocytes.
Article in F&S reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveTo determine whether a higher body mass index (BMI) adversely affects endometrial receptivity.
designRetrospective cohort study.
settingAcademic medical center. PATIENTS: All donor egg recipients (DERs) who received fresh sibling-oocytes (oocytes from a donor that were retrieved from a single controlled ovarian hyperstimulation [COH] cycle and split between two recipients) at our center over a 7-year period were included.
interventionsCOH of a donor with fresh embryo transfer to recipients of differing BMI. The two recipients of the sibling-oocytes were paired and categorized based on BMI: group A (normal weight, BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m
main outcome measuresThe primary outcome was implantation rate. Secondary outcomes were positive pregnancy rate and live birth rate.
resultsA total of 408 patients had received oocytes from a split donor oocyte cycle. There were 71 pairs of patients (142 recipients) that had discrepant BMI categories and were analyzed. Implantation rates were similar for the two groups (54.5%±5.3% vs. 56.3%±4.8% for group A and B, respectively,
conclusionsIn this idealized model that controls to the greatest degree possible for factors that would impact implantation, we found that a higher BMI did not reduce implantation, positive pregnancy, or delivery rates. These findings suggest that a higher BMI does not adversely affect uterine receptivity.
