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

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a new trophectoderm (TE) biopsy method that does not require prior opening of the zona pellucida at the blastocyst stage. Methods: TE biopsy was conducted using a modified extrusion method for embryos during the cleavage stage. In this method, culture medium was injected into the perivitelline space to help extrude TE cells from the zona pellucida before TE biopsy. Results: Our extrusion method preserves the embryo culture environment until immediately before biopsy because it does not require opening of the zona pellucida prior to TE biopsy. Furthermore, this method does not require a waiting time for blastocyst hatching after laser irradiation, thereby minimizing damage to the embryos and maintaining the time schedule of culture operations. Conclusions: TE biopsy using this novel extrusion method may be useful in various applications, including the collection of TE cells for next-generation sequencing analysis.
