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 aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of an inter-chromosomal effect (ICE) in blastocyst-stage embryos from carriers of balanced chromosome inversions.

methodsInfertility patients (n = 52) with balanced inversions (n = 66 cycles), and maternal age-matched controls that concurrently cycled (n = 66), consented to an IVF cycle with preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). Blastocyst-stage embryos underwent trophectoderm biopsy for PGT-A with only euploid blastocysts transferred in a subsequent frozen embryo transfer. Subtypes of inversions were included in aggregate: paracentric/pericentric, polymorphic/non-polymorphic, male/female carriers, and varying inversion sizes.

resultsThe incidence of aneuploidy was not significantly higher for the inversion patients compared to the controls (inversion = 48.8% vs. control = 47.2% ns). Following euploid blastocyst transfer, there were excellent live birth outcomes.

conclusionsCarriers of balanced chromosome inversions did not exhibit higher aneuploidy rates for chromosomes that were not involved in the inversion compared to maternal age-matched controls, signifying the absence of an inter-chromosomal effect for this data set. These results provide the largest investigation of blastocyst embryos regarding the debated existence of an ICE resulting from the presence of an inversion during meiosis. However, further studies are warranted to investigate an ICE among inversions subtypes that were outside the scope of this study.
