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

Globally, one out of six people of childbearing age experience infertility. Given the high demand for assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs), this systematic review evaluated associations between adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) and ART outcomes, as dietary habits can play a significant role. A systematic review was conducted by searching five databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science) for studies published from 1 January 2010, to 1 January 2024, in English or Spanish. Inclusion criteria targeted patients aged 18-55 and examined intermediate and/or clinical ART outcomes. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and animal studies were excluded. Of the eight included articles, four found statistically significant associations between adherence to MD and positive ART outcomes, including increased number of embryos, and higher clinical and biochemical pregnancy and live birth rates. Other studies showed conflicting results. There is a potential association between adherence to the MD and ART outcomes. However, the evidence is limited, emphasizing the need for further investigation.
