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

Objective: This study aimed to identify dietary patterns among women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) and to analyze the association between these patterns and reproductive outcomes. Methods: This study included 331 women who underwent assisted reproductive technology at a tertiary hospital in Jiangsu Province between June and December 2024. Dietary intake was assessed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, and nutrient values were calculated with a nutrition calculator. Reproductive outcomes were obtained from medical records. Then, we used principal component analysis to identify dietary patterns, and we performed non-parametric tests and multivariate regression analyses to explore associations between dietary patterns, nutrient intake, and reproductive outcomes. Results: Three dietary patterns were identified: the Diversified Diet Pattern, the Snack-Beverage-Staple Pattern, and the Staple-Vegetable Pattern. No significant association was found between dietary patterns and reproductive outcomes (p > 0.05). Regarding individual nutrients, higher vitamin B2 intake was linked to more high-scoring blastocysts (p = 0.003). Higher cholesterol intake was associated with fewer retrieved oocytes (p = 0.008) and morphologically normal oocytes (p = 0.029). Higher zinc intake was associated with fewer morphologically normal oocytes (p = 0.012), number of mature oocytes (MII oocytes) (p = 0.039), and high-quality embryos (p = 0.036). No significant associations were found between other nutrients and reproductive outcomes (all p > 0.05). Conclusion: Although different dietary patterns were not associated with reproductive outcomes, the intake of specific nutrients, such as cholesterol, vitamin B2, and zinc, may influence reproductive outcomes. Further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and to develop targeted interventions for women undergoing ART.
