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: To identify preconception clinical and multi-omics factors associated with conception and early pregnancy loss in women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL). Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 149 women with URPL selected from 420 outpatients based on guideline-recommended criteria were enrolled between November 2024 and May 2025 and followed-up for 12 months. Preconception fasting plasma was analyzed for clinical biomarkers, untargeted metabolomics, and data-independent acquisition proteomics. Outcomes included conception, ongoing pregnancy beyond 12 weeks and early pregnancy loss before 12 weeks. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the associations of clinical and multi-omics factors with reproductive outcomes, adjusting for maternal age, body mass index, number of prior losses, and use of assisted reproductive technology. Results: Of 149 women, 99 conceived (66.4%) during the follow-up. By 12 weeks of gestation, 67 (67.7%) had ongoing pregnancies and 32 (32.3%) experienced early pregnancy loss. Higher testosterone was associated with lower probability of conception (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.28-0.89, Conclusions: Higher testosterone was associated with lower odds of conception. Among women who conceived, early pregnancy loss was associated with higher prolactin, borderline higher anti-PS/PT, lower bile acid-related metabolites, and higher caffeine-related metabolites, with 7α,12α-dihydroxy-3-oxocholest-4-en-27-oic acid identified as an exploratory metabolomic candidate. These findings suggest that potential androgen-related biology, prolactin, non-criteria antiphospholipid antibodies, and bile acid metabolism may be associated with reproductive outcomes in URPL, warranting validation in independent cohorts.
