Association between sperm DNA fragmentation index and spontaneous miscarriage following IVF-ET: a retrospective analysis.
Article in PeerJ, 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
Purpose: To investigate the correlation between sperm DNA fragmentation rate and different types of spontaneous miscarriage after In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 2,128 patients undergoing Results: Univariate analysis revealed that the DFI in the spontaneous miscarriage group (unknown cause) was higher than that in the ongoing pregnancy group ( Conclusion: Sperm DFI shows a statistical association with IVF-ET spontaneous miscarriage of unknown cause, but its discriminatory capacity is negligible and it is not a clinically useful predictor. Sperm DFI showed no significant association with biochemical pregnancy or spontaneous miscarriage with embryonic chromosomal abnormality.
