1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: The genetic components of the etiologies of ovulatory dysfunction-related infertility (ODRI) are poorly characterized. Objectives: This paper aimed to comprehensively identify, compile, and categorize published research on relationships between genetics and ovulatory-related infertility in humans. Methods: A scoping review was performed on research articles relating human genes, ovulatory dysfunction, and infertility retrieved from PubMed and Web of Science databases. A total of 45 articles were included in the study. The data has been organized into three categories based on relevant findings: polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and other diagnoses related to ovulatory dysfunction and infertility. Results: Sources revealed 235 different genes linked to ovulatory dysfunction and infertility including follicle-stimulating hormone receptor ( Conclusions: In this review, we have highlighted the extreme variability in what is known about the genetics of ODRI by compiling and categorizing genes identified in the literature as associated with ODRI and its associated subtypes. We have also provided a comprehensive list of ODRI genes specifically identified in humans. The findings from this review, specifically the list of ODRI genes, can be used for targeted gene panel development in assisted reproductive technology to improve clinical testing and diagnosis, as well as in developing individualized treatment strategies for ODRI patients.
