The effect of myo-inositol on assisted reproductive technology outcomes in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trial studies.
Review in International journal of reproductive biomedicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Conflicting evidence from clinical trials on the effects of myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol on assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) necessitates a systematic review and meta-analysis. Objective: To evaluate the effect of myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol on ART outcomes in women with PCOS. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the Cochrane Library for studies published from January 2000-2023. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA version 17. Results: 17 intervention studies were included. myo-inositol/D-chiro-inositol supplementation significantly increased the clinical pregnancy rate (RR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.25-2.15; I Conclusion: This meta-analysis provides reliable evidence on the effects of myo-inositol/D-chiro-inositol on fertility and ovarian function in women with PCOS undergoing ART.
