Metabolomic alterations in follicular fluid across female infertility conditions in IVF: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 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
purposeThis systematic review investigates the relationship between follicular fluid metabolomic profiles and different female infertility conditions, focusing on the molecular alterations associated with each condition.
methodsA systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search was performed in the Embase, MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases. Study selection was carried out using the Rayyan platform based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
resultsThe follicular fluid metabolome appears to be influenced by various infertility-related factors. Key metabolites, including glucose, lactate, lipids (such as diacylglycerols, triacylglycerols, fatty acids, sphingomyelins, and oleic acid), and amino acids (including lysine, valine, glutamate, histidine, and glutamine), were consistently reported as altered across the included studies. These findings suggest their potential relevance for advancing embryology research and clinical assisted reproduction.
conclusionMetabolomics, due to its analytical sensitivity and predictive potential, may contribute to improving in vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory practices and enhancing clinical outcomes.
