Which vaginal douching agent is the best choice before oocyte retrieval? A systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in reproductive health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate six vaginal douching agents (Iodine, Saline, Iodine followed by saline, chlorhexidine acetate followed by saline, Ozone, Potassium permanganate) on oocytes pick-up related pelvic infection (OPU-PI) and IVF outcome in patients underwent assisted reproduction technology (ART). Design: Through searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Ovid, CINAHL CNKI, only human clinical trials were collected to study the effects of the six vaginal douching agents on OPU-PI and IVF outcomes. The included studies were evaluated for methodological quality by the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool, and the data analysis software was used to analyze the data accordingly. Results: The clinical trials were collected between the earliest available date and June 2022. Eight studies were included, the total sample size used in the study was 12,567. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that Ozone can significantly decrease OPU-PI; Iodine followed by saline can be a antiseptic protocol ranked first without affecting the quality of oocytes and Chlorhexidine acetate followed by saline can improve patients' clinical pregnancy rate. Conclusion: Based on Ranking Plot of the Network, this review reports the best evidence available regarding different vaginal douching agents used before OPU.
