Clinical pregnancy is significantly associated with the blastocyst width and area: a time-lapse study.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
In order to maintain pregnancy rates following single embryo transfer, optimisation of embryo culture and selection is vital. Time-lapse monitoring (TLM) has the potential to play a crucial role by providing sequential images of embryo development and minimal disturbance. Therefore, in this study morphometric assessment of blastocyst area and maximum width was performed in order to evaluate if these parameters are associated with pregnancy outcomes in IVF/ICSI cycles. This is a retrospective study of 664 patients who had elective single blastocyst transfer (eSBT). The EmbryoScope drawing tools were used to measure specific variables such as the maximum blastocyst width and blastocyst area. Our results show that women who were pregnant had significantly (P < 0.01) larger blastocyst width [median (range) μm] 184 (125-239) versus non-pregnant, 160 (120-230)] and area [median (range) μm
