[Endocrine-Metabolic Evaluation of female infertility in public health: initial results in the interior of the country]
Observational study in Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas (Cordoba, Argentina), 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
Introduction: Female infertility affects 15% of couples. Endocrine-metabolic disorders play a key role in reproductive health, yet data are lacking in Argentine populations treated in the public health system. Objectives: To describe and analyze the endocrine-metabolic characteristics of infertile women treated at the Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes, referred from IUMeR. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study. Women aged 18–44 years referred to the Endocrinology Clinic for infertility were included. Endocrine-metabolic and ultrasonographic features were assessed. Results: A total of 103 patients were studied. Thyroid disorders were present in 70%, hyperprolactinemia in 29%, and polycystic ovary syndrome in 21%. In addition, 50% of the women presented non-endocrine factors, such as tubal obstruction (42%) and semen abnormalities in their partners (26%). Conclusion: The high prevalence of thyroid dysfunction, hyperprolactinemia, and overweight highlights the need for an integral, multidisciplinary approach to female infertility in the public health setting. In many cases, initial endocrine treatments proved effective, reducing the need for referral to high-complexity assisted reproductive technologies. These findings emphasize the importance of reinforcing reproductive health education and implementing programs that promote healthy lifestyle habits, with the potential to improve fertility outcomes in this population.
