Hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets for patients with recurrent implantation failure: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 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
backgroundRecurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains clinically unresolved at this stage. Hydroxychloroquine, as an immunomodulator, is still lacking clinical evidence, but it is being used by increasing numbers of reproductive centers and physicians worldwide, so a well-designed randomized controlled trial (RCT) is urgently needed to elucidate whether hydroxychloroquine can improve pregnancy outcomes in patients with RIF. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: In this study, we plan to recruit 686 volunteers who will undergo IVF/ICSI at 5 reproductive centers from 6 December 2022. Participants will be randomized to two parallel groups and treated with hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets or placebo from the start of endometrial preparation to 14 days after frozen embryo transfer (if not pregnant) or to 12 weeks of pregnancy (if pregnant). The primary outcome is live birth rate, and the secondary outcomes include biochemical pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, embryo attachment rate, first trimester abortion rate and ongoing pregnancy rate, birth weight, pregnancy and perinatal complications, congenital anomaly, and other adverse events. DISCUSSION: This study aims to evaluate whether hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) improves pregnancy outcomes in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Secondary objectives include comparative analysis of gestational complications between the intervention and control groups.
