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
Background: Ovulatory dysfunction is more common in women with obesity. Body fat distribution is also crucial because anovulatory women have a greater waist circumference and more abdominal fat than ovulatory women of similar BMI. The primary aim of the present study is to determine whether there is a relationship between BMI and reproductive characteristics, including hormonal values, antral follicle count (AFC), endometrial assessment at transvaginal ultrasound evaluation (TVUS) during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), and oocyte retrieval after Ovum Pick-Up (OPU). Methods: Data from a cohort of 183 patients were analyzed and divided into three groups based on weight status: normal weight, overweight, and obesity. Evaluated reproductive characteristics included: age, basal values of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), 17-beta-estradiol (E2), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), anti-müllerian hormone (AMH), antral-follicle-count (AFC), duration of COS, E2, and progesterone at the last monitoring, TVUS endometrial thickness at the last monitoring before OPU, FOI after OPU. Additionally, the number of meiosis II oocytes retrieved (MII), the total dose of FSH administered, the ratio between MII and total FSH administered, and OSI were registered. Results: AMH levels were significantly lower in obese patients compared to normal weight and overweight women (1.05 IQR 1.20, 1.58 IQR 2.16, 1.32 IQR 1.38, respectively, Conclusion: These results emphasize the importance of considering weight status in fertility assessment and treatment planning.
