Artificial oocyte activation technology as adjuvant therapy for primary ciliary dyskinesia: a report of eight cases and literature review.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo explore the clinical application effect and feasibility of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) combined with artificial oocyte activation (AOA) technology in the treatment of male infertility caused by primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). CASES REPORT: Between April 2022 and April 2024, our hospital's reproductive center treated a total of eight patients diagnosed with PCD and concurrent male infertility. Among them, six patients were treated with ICSI in conjunction with AOA as an adjuvant therapy, with their oocytes being subjected to ionomycin treatment for a duration of 15 min post-ICSI. One patient underwent ICSI alone, while another patient chose to use donor sperm. Ultimately, we assessed the fertilization rates and transferable embryo rates of all patients. The statistical results showed that the six patients who received ICSI combined with AOA achieved an average fertilization rate of 77.9% and a transferable embryo rate of 66.7%. Four of these patients achieved clinical pregnancy and live birth after embryo transfer. In contrast, the patient who received only ICSI had a fertilization rate of 51.7% and a transferable embryo rate of 20%.
conclusionsAOA can be used as an adjuvant treatment in ICSI cycles for patients with PCD accompanied by male infertility. It not only increases the fertilization rate but also potentially improves embryo quality, thereby enhancing the transferable embryo rate.
