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 compare the outcomes of embryos selected via time lapse monitoring (TLM) versus those selected with conventional methods of selection in subfertile women undergoing ICSI.

methodsThe study population (239 women) was classified into two groups, based on the monitoring method used: Group 1 (TLM) and Group 2 (conventional monitoring). Groups were compared according to the clinical and ICSI cycle characteristics and reproductive outcomes, while transfers were performed at day 2 or 3. Subgroup analyses were performed, in women of both groups according to age and clinical parameters, and in embryos of Group 1 based on their cellular events.

resultsThere was a statistically significant difference between the two study groups with regard to the outcome parameters, favoring Group 1 and especially in women >40 years of age. No differences were found in subgroup analyses in participants of both groups, regarding the stimulation protocol used, number of the oocytes retrieved and type of subfertility, while in Group 1 the percentages of "in range" cellular events were higher in certain divisions in ages 35-40, non-smokers, and the GnRH-agonist group, and in embryos that resulted in pregnancy.

conclusionMorphokinetic parameters of early embryo development via TLM are related to the characteristics of subfertile patients and associated with ICSI outcomes.
