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
objectiveTo evaluate the performance of an
methodsPatients who underwent fresh embryo transfer and the freeze-all strategy in August, September, and October 2017 were retrospectively studied to evaluate the performance of an IVF laboratory in September when implantation rate of fresh embryo transfer decreased. KPIs associated with blastocyst culture and the first frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle in patients with the freeze-all strategy were compared over 3 months.
resultsDay 5 usable blastocyst and good quality blastocyst rates, and day 3 usable/good quality embryo rates were not different among the three periods. The implantation rate and KPIs associated with morphological changes in warmed blastocysts in the first FET cycle in patients with the freeze-all strategy were also not different among the periods.
conclusionsKPIs associated with embryo quality, blastocyst culture, and the pregnancy outcome of the first FET cycle in patients with the freeze-all strategy suggested that performance was unaffected in our IVF laboratory in September. These KPIs might be useful for internal quality control analysis of IVF laboratories.
