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

introductionIn order to investigate the dynamics of genomic alterations that occur at different developmental stages in vitro, we examined the chromosome content of human preimplantation embryos by molecular-cytogenetic techniques at the single-cell level, up to 13 days post fertilization.

methodsThe embryos were genetically analyzed several times during their development in culture; each embryo was first analyzed by FISH at 'Day 3' post fertilization, than during its growth in vitro and the third analysis was performed at development arrest, then the entire blastocyst was analyzed by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH/aCGH).

resultsWe found that while on 'Day 3' only 31% of the embryos were detected as normal, on 'Day 5-6', 44% of the embryos were classified as normal and on 'Day 7', 57% were normal. On 'Days 8-13', 52% of the embryos were classified as chromosomally normal. One third of the embryos that were chromosomally abnormal on 'Day 3', were found to be normal at development arrest point. DISCUSSION: These dynamic changes that occur at early developmental stages suggest that testing a single blastomere at 'Day 3' post fertilization for PGD might inaccurately reflect the embryo ploidy and increase the risk of false aneuploidy diagnosis. Alternatively, blastocyst stage diagnosis may be more appropriate.
