Epigenetic, environmental, and sex-specific programming of long-term health in Assisted Reproductive Technologies-conceived offspring†.
Review in Biology of reproduction, 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
Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) are non-coital methods of conception widely used to address infertility. These procedures include conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection, gamete and embryo cryopreservation, trophectoderm biopsy for pre-implantation genetic testing, and newer mitochondrial replacement techniques. Since the first IVF birth in 1978, the global use of ART has increased rapidly, contributing to more than 13 million births worldwide. Although ongoing technological advances have improved safety and increased pregnancy and live-birth rates, ART has also been associated with adverse placental and fetal outcomes, some of which persist into later life and, in certain cases, across generations. The mechanisms underlying these outcomes are not fully understood, but studies suggest that altered epigenetic reprogramming, environmental influences, and sex-specific factors are major contributors. In this review, we examine how long-term health outcomes in ART-conceived offspring are shaped by the interplay of epigenetic mechanisms, environmental influences, and sex-specific responses in both humans and mice.
