Associations of menstrual cycle length with GDM and gestational hypertension in frozen embryo transfer.
Article in Journal of ovarian research, 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
backgroundProlonged menstrual cycles may indicate potential cardiometabolic conditions; however, there are limited data on how these associations vary among women without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between menstrual cycle length, pregnancy complications, and adverse birth outcomes among women without PCOS undergoing frozen embryo transfer (FET).
methodsWomen who delivered singleton live births and had complete pre-pregnancy menstrual cycle data were eligible for inclusion in this study, and were grouped according to the menstrual cycle length (≤ 27, 28-31, 32-35, and ≥ 36 days). Multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for age, body mass index, parity, infertility factors, IVF-FET parameters, and embryo characteristics were used to estimate the adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and gestational hypertension.
resultsWomen with prolonged cycles (≥ 36 days) had a higher risk of GDM (aOR 1.54; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-2.09; P = 0.005) and gestational hypertension (aOR 1.60; 95% CI: 1.05-2.42; P = 0.027) compared with those with 28-31 day cycles. Cycle lengths of 32-35 days were also associated with an increased risk of gestational hypertension (aOR 1.59; 95% CI: 1.02-2.48; P = 0.041). Short cycles (≤ 27 days) were linked to a reduced risk of GDM (aOR 0.48; 95% CI: 0.30-0.76; P = 0.002).
conclusionsA prolonged menstrual cycle is a significant risk factor for GDM and gestational hypertension in women undergoing FET. These findings underscore the need for individualized risk assessment and early intervention in IVF patients with prolonged cycles.
