Uterine angle changes during the in vitro fertilization treatment cycle.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Studies have focused on uterine peristalsis and endometrial development, whereas knowledge is limited on cyclical changes in the uterocervical angle (the angle formed between the uterine corpus and cervix) during the menstrual cycle. Here, these dynamic changes were investigated. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 99 freeze-thawed blastocyst transfer cycles in 2020 and a prospective analysis of 192 cycles between 2022 and 2023. Transvaginal ultrasonography was performed to measure the uterine angle during the menstrual, ovulatory, and implantation periods. In the prospective study, conditions were standardized by instructing patients to empty their bladders and avoid uterine compression during scanning. In the retrospective analysis, the uterine angle significantly differed between the menstrual and ovulatory periods (141.1 ± 33.5° vs. 147.7 ± 40.9°, p = 0.04), but no correlation with serum estradiol or progesterone levels was observed. The prospective analysis confirmed significant differences in uterine angle between the menstrual and ovulatory periods and between the ovulatory and implantation periods (135.1 ± 27.7°, 141.5 ± 30.9°, and 136.8 ± 28.7°, respectively; both p < 0.01), without hormonal correlation. These findings suggest that the uterine angle varies throughout the menstrual cycle, becoming more anteverted during the menstrual and implantation periods and straightening around ovulation.
