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

purposeTo determine whether in vitro fertilization cycles using fresh oocyte donations benefit from preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies.

methodsA paired cohort study compared 44 fresh oocyte donation cycles with or without preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). The sibling oocyte study analyzed fertilized oocytes, blastocyst development, and euploidy rate. Only frozen embryo transfers were performed. Pregnancy, implantation, biochemical pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, live birth, and twin pregnancy rates were analyzed between groups.

resultsFresh oocyte donation cycles between PGT-A and non-PGT-A groups were similar in all laboratory and clinical outcomes. A euploidy rate of 74.2% was observed in the PGT-A group. Although a slight trend was observed for implantation rate in the PGT-A group, it was not statistically significant. No difference was observed for live birth between groups.

conclusionPGT-A associated with fresh oocyte donation cycles does not improve clinical outcomes and can be seen as over-treatment for patients.
