Comparison of in vitro fertilization cycles in couples with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection versus noninfected couples through a retrospective matched case-control study.
Article in F&S reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 compare in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in couples in which at least one partner is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive with that of couples in which neither partner is HIV-positive.
designRetrospective matched case-control study.
settingFertility center at Tenon Hospital, Paris, France. PATIENTS: A total of 179 IVF cycles in couples infected with HIV-1 and 179 IVF cycles in control couples.
interventionsOvarian stimulation, oocytes retrieval, IVF (standard and microinjection), embryo transfer, pregnancy, and live birth follow-up.
main outcome measuresLive birth rate and IVF outcomes.
resultsThe first comparison between HIV and non-HIV couples showed poorer outcomes in the HIV group (higher administered gonadotropin doses and longer stimulation periods, lower cumulative pregnancy and live birth rates, among other things). A subgroup analysis was performed in addition. No differences were found in the "men HIV" group compared with the controls. In contrast, poorer outcomes in the "women HIV" and "women and men HIV" groups were shown in terms of administered doses, duration of stimulation, and number of oocytes retrieved. For the "women HIV" group, lower cumulative clinical pregnancy and live birth rates were found.
conclusionThe data suggested that couples with HIV-positive women have poorer medically assisted procreation outcomes than couples with non-HIV-infected women. Therefore, physicians should pay particular attention to couples with HIV-positive women.
