Comparative efficacy of intrauterine infusion treatments for recurrent implantation failure: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Review in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveRecurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a significant challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART), affecting many women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). This study aims to compare the efficacy of various intrauterine infusion treatments, including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), in improving clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), live birth rate (LBR), and miscarriage rate (MR) in women with RIF.
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted in multiple databases, including Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of intrauterine infusion treatments for RIF. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers. Network meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model to compare the outcomes of different treatments.
resultsA total of 25 RCTs involving 3035 patients were included in the network meta-analysis. The treatments involved G-CSF, PRP, HCG, PBMCs, placebo, and blank control. The results of the network meta-analysis for CPR and LBR were statistically significant among treatments, but there was no statistical significance in MR. The surface under cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) ranking of CPR and LBR showed that intrauterine infusion treatments of G-CSF, PRP, HCG, and PBMCs were much better than placebo and blank. The SUCRA values of CPR were ranked probabilistically from high to low as follows: PRP (84.5%) > PBMCs (76.5%) > G-CSF (65.7%) > HCG (52.5%) > placebo (20.8%) > blank (0.1%). The SUCRA values of LBR were ranked probabilistically from high to low as follows: PRP (81.4%) > PBMCs (64.6%) > G-CSF (58.0%) > HCG (48.7%) > placebo (42.4%) > blank (4.9%).
conclusionAll these findings confirmed that intrauterine infusions of PRP and PBMCs significantly improve pregnancy outcomes in women with RIF. PRP emerged as the most effective treatment. However, to establish the most effective approach for managing patients with RIF, future research should prioritize direct and robust comparisons between PRP and other therapeutic strategies, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of their relative efficacy.
