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

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous regenerative therapy investigated for improving endometrial receptivity, ovarian function, and reproductive outcomes. To address inconsistent findings across existing reviews, we conducted an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses identified from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, with evidence appraised using AMSTAR-2 and GRADE. Twenty-one reviews were included. In women with recurrent implantation failure, intrauterine PRP was associated with improved live birth, clinical pregnancy, and biochemical pregnancy rates. Similar benefits were observed in women with previous implantation failure and in assisted reproductive technology (ART) populations. PRP also modestly increased endometrial thickness and implantation rates. In women with thin endometrium or intrauterine adhesions, PRP improved pregnancy outcomes and reduced cycle cancellation, while miscarriage rates were largely unchanged. Intra-ovarian PRP improved ovarian reserve markers, hormone profiles, oocyte yield, and embryo quality in women with poor ovarian response, premature ovarian insufficiency, or diminished ovarian reserve, although effects on pregnancy and live birth were variable. Overall, PRP shows potential benefits, but the certainty of evidence ranged from very low to moderate due to heterogeneity and methodological limitations. High-quality randomized controlled trials are required to confirm efficacy and guide clinical practice.
