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

Infertility remains a global health challenge, particularly in cases involving endometrial damage, diminished ovarian reserve, or poor embryo quality where conventional therapies often fail. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have emerged as a promising regenerative option due to their accessibility, multipotency, and paracrine signaling capacity. This review evaluated preclinical and clinical studies investigating ADSCs and their derivatives for uterine, ovarian, and embryo applications in reproductive medicine. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed to July 2025, focusing on studies involving ADSCs, ADSC exosomes, and ADSC mitochondria in animal models and human studies. Results demonstrated that intrauterine ADSC administration improved endometrial thickness, vascularization, and receptivity, with some studies showing increased implantation and pregnancy rates in patients with thin endometrial lining thickness or Asherman's syndrome. Ovarian applications showed partial restoration of function in premature ovarian insufficiency and chemotherapy-induced damage, with evidence of menstrual recovery, hormonal improvements, and enhanced folliculogenesis in both animal and early human studies. At the gamete and embryo level, ADSC-derived mitochondria, exosomes, and conditioned media improved oocyte maturation, reduced oxidative stress, enhanced blastocyst development, and increased embryo survival
