A Rare Case of Live Birth Through In Vitro Fertilization in a 46-Year-Old Woman Using Her Autologous Oocytes: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Case reports in medicine, 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
Female fertility decline with age presents a challenge to successful IVF outcomes. The rising trend of delayed family planning due to societal changes has led to increased demand for reproductive assistance among older women. Despite clinical and scientific advances in Assisted Reproductive Technology, age remains a barrier to successful outcomes mainly due to declining oocyte quality and quantity, leading to decreased fecundity rates and increased miscarriage risks. This report highlights an exceptional case of a women aged 46 achieving live birth through IVF using her own oocytes. Notably, awareness among women about the profound effect of age on fertility remains insufficient. Educating women about these age-related reproductive challenges is crucial. Oocyte cryopreservation emerges as a potential strategy, while egg donation stands as a pragmatic alternative. However, the probability of live birth among women at the extremes of reproductive age using their own oocytes is low, at 0.3%. It is important to approach this case report with caution to avoid unrealistic expectations among women aged 45 or older seeking IVF services.
