Metabolic Syndrome and Assisted Reproductive Techniques.
Article in Journal of family & reproductive health, 2023. 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
Objective: Metabolic syndrome is a risk factor affecting reproductive health and pregnant outcomes. So far, the effect of this syndrome on the success rate of assisted reproduction techniques (ART) has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome and the success rate of ART in infertile women in Isfahan. Materials and methods: A prospective cohort study performed on 147 women candidates using in-vitro fertilization/intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) and/or ICSI methods referred to Isfahan Infertility Center in two groups with metabolic syndrome(n=49) without metabolic syndrome(n=98), by convenience sampling methods in Isfahan, Iran in 2018. Body mass index (BMI) and waist, abdominal circumference, Serum triglyceride (TG), cholesterol and FBS were measured. If βHCG test was positive (day 15-16 after ART), transvaginal sonography (TVS) was done 15 days later. Pregnant women were followed up to the 20th week of pregnancy. To analyze, t-test, chi-square and logistic regression tests were used. Results: The frequency of metabolic syndrome was 33.4% (n=49). The frequency of ART was not significantly different between women with and without metabolic syndrome (p=0.321). The relative frequency of pregnancy (p=0.907) and abortion (p=0.896) did not show a significant difference between the two groups. Independent t-test showed that the mean FBS, HDL, TG, systolic and diastolic BP, abdominal circumference and BMI in the studied units did not differ significantly based on the occurrence of pregnancy and abortion. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, there was no significant difference between the indicators of metabolic syndrome and the success rate of ART in achieving, pregnancy and pregnant outcomes in the first twenty weeks of pregnancy.
