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

purposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the factors associated with embryo multinucleation, particularly focused on the influence of parental chromosomal polymorphisms in embryo multinucleation.

methodsThis is a retrospective case-control study involving 1260 infertile couples undergoing their first IVF/ICSI cycles. Couples were screened for abnormalities in their karyotype and were evaluated for blastomere persistence of multinucleation. Demographic characteristics, stimulation protocol, and pregnant outcomes were analyzed using logistic regression analysis.

resultsThe level of basal FSH was lower in the multinucleated embryos group (5.37 vs 5.72 IU/L). The Multinucleated embryos group received less gonadotropins (1788.5 vs 1891.3 IU), and the level of LH on day of HCG triggering was lower (1.09 vs 1.30 IU/L). More oocytes were recovered in the multinucleated embryos group (11.51 vs 9.23). Chromosomal polymorphisms were seen in at least 1 out of 163 (12.9%) couples. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that chromosomal polymorphisms were independently associated with an increase in the occurrence risk of multinucleated embryos (OR = 1.61, 95% CI, 1.06-2.44) in the first IVF/ICSI cycle. The miscarriage rate in the multinucleated embryos group was 10% higher than that of the control group.

conclusionsChromosomal polymorphisms were independently associated with multinucleation embryo formation. A higher LH level on the day of HCG triggering was associated with a decreased chance of multinucleation.
