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

purposeMicrosuction (MS) is a technique for mechanically emptying fluid from blastocele using a microneedle. In this study, we evaluated the improvement in clinical and neonatal outcomes of vitrified blastocyst transfer programs when MS of blastocelic fluid was used before vitrification.

methodsThis was a retrospective study based on data collected between March 2014 and August 2016. A total of 317 blastocysts obtained from 211 patients were analyzed. The blastocelic fluid of expanded blastocysts was aspirated completely, and blastocysts were collapsed prior to vitrification. Clinical and neonatal outcomes of warmed blastocysts were compared.

resultsThe survival rate of the MS blastocyst was significantly higher compared with the nontreatment control (98.7% vs 89.3%, OR: 9.34, 95% CI: 2.35-36.8,

conclusionThe MS procedure improved blastocyst survival and had little effect on further embryo development after warming.
