Long-Term Health Outcomes of Children Born After In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): A Narrative Review.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2026. 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
The aim of this narrative review is to present long-term health outcomes of children conceived after in vitro fertilization (IVF). The narrative synthesis has mainly been based on systematic reviews/meta-analyses and cohort studies. Various effects were examined, spanning the neurodevelopment, cardiovascular function and metabolism, respiratory system, malignancies, reproductive health, gastrointestinal system, and endocrine glands. As a rule, children born after IVF, when restricted to singletons and cryopreservation of embryos is avoided, did not face a significant risk to the most health conditions versus their spontaneously conceived peers. However, some higher risks concerning neurodevelopment, cardiovascular function, metabolism, and allergies have been noted. Given the limited data despite the popularity of IVF, more investigation and continuous surveillance in adulthood of this group are imperative.
