Recipient age and reproductive outcomes in donor oocyte cycles: exploring the potential contribution of uterine aging.
Article 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
purposeTo investigate whether uterine aging independently affects reproductive outcomes in oocyte donation cycles and to evaluate reproductive outcomes across increasing recipient age groups.
methodsA retrospective cohort study includes 1774 women undergoing 2760 single blastocyst transfers with donor oocytes (March 2021-December 2024). Transfers were stratified by age: 35-40, 41-45, 46-49, and > 49 years. Multivariable logistic regression was adjusted for BMI, embryo quality, endometrial parameters, sperm characteristics, paternal age, number of inseminated oocytes, and PGT-A use. Uncensored and exploratory censored Kaplan-Meier analyses estimated cumulative live birth rates (CLBR).
resultsLive birth rates declined progressively with advancing recipient age. Women aged > 49 years had significantly lower live birth rates (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.41-0.93, p = 0.02) and higher miscarriage risk (OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.16-3.69, p = 0.01). CLBR decreased from 80% (35-40 years) to 62.5% (> 49 years) in uncensored analysis (p < 0.0001). The prevalence of trilaminar endometrium significantly declined in women ≥ 46 (p < 0.0001), while endometrial thickness remained comparable. Although advanced paternal age was associated with reduced fertilization and poorer embryo quality (p < 0.0001), it was not associated with implantation, live birth, or miscarriage rates in the subgroup of recipients aged > 49 years.
conclusionA clinically significant decline in live birth occurs in recipients aged > 49 years, suggesting a late-onset uterine aging effect. These findings may help guide counseling and risk assessment in women of advanced maternal age.
