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

purposeTo evaluate the epigenetic risk linked to assisted reproductive technology (ART) at single-embryo level by analyzing the methylation status of imprinted H19, PEG1, and KvDMR1 in human preimplantation embryos.

methodsA total of 254 human day 3 embryos produced by ART procedures were collected. All embryos were normally fertilized but unsuitable for transfer or freezing due to poor quality. Pyrosequencing with confirmatory routine bisulfite sequencing were used to determine the DNA methylation patterns of H19 differentially methylated region (DMR) in 63 embryos, PEG1 DMR in 65 embryos, and KvDMR1 in 67 embryos.

resultsAberrant methylation patterns were found in 8.0% embryos at H19 DMR, 16.9% embryos at PEG1 DMR, and 10.4% embryos at KvDMR1. No methylation errors were found in corresponding sperm samples.

conclusionsWe hypothesized that the use of poor-quality embryos may increase the risk of imprinting defects because they might have methylation errors.
