Multivitamin Supplementation and Fertility Outcome: A Retrospective Single-Center Cohort Study and the Clinical and Medicolegal Value of Nutritional Counseling.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
Resveratrol can beneficially affect growth and follicle development and lead to improved sperm function parameters in pre-clinical studies, while information from clinical studies is still inconclusive. This study aims to evaluate the biological and clinical impact of a resveratrol-based multivitamin supplement on level II assisted reproduction cycles (IVF and intracytoplasmic sperm injection [ICSI]). A retrospective, case-control study, involving 70 infertile couples undergoing IVF/ICSI cycles, was conducted at the Assisted Reproductive Center, Obstetrics and Gynecology Unit-Villa Sofia-Cervello Hospital in Palermo. The study group underwent pre-treatment with a daily nutraceutical based on resveratrol, whereas the control group received 400 mcg/day of folic acid. Primary endpoints to be evaluated were the number of mature follicles developed (>16 mm), total oocytes and Metaphase II (MII) oocytes retrieved, fertilization rate, number of embryos/blastocysts obtained, and semen quality. Secondary objectives in our evaluation were the duration and dosage of gonadotropins, the starting dose, the number of blastocysts to be transferred and frozen, implantation rate, and, ultimately, biochemical and clinical pregnancy rates. In the study group, a significantly higher number of mature follicles, oocytes, and MII oocytes were collected compared to the control group. In the study group, a higher fertilization rate as well as higher numbers of cleavage embryos per patient, blastocysts per patient, and frozen blastocysts were obtained. In the study group, a shorter administration time and lower dosages of gonadotropins required to reach follicle maturity were also observed compared to controls, with fewer dose adjustments during stimulation compared to the starting dose. No significant differences were found in biochemical or clinical pregnancy rates. A 12-month period of dietary supplementation with a resveratrol-based multivitamin nutraceutical leads to better biological effects on ICSI cycles.
