Effects of donor sperm on perinatal and neonatal outcomes resulting from in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer cycles: a retrospective cohort study.

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
Background: The impact of donor sperm on pregnancy outcomes is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate whether donor sperm in in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment could reduce the rate of live births or increase the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes and birth defects in neonates. Methods: This single-centre, retrospective cohort study included 1,559 patients with infertility who received donor sperm at our hospital from 2015 to 2019. All the patients received fresh embryos and underwent first-cycle transfer. After propensity score matching, 4,677 controls who received their partners' sperm were matched at 1:3. Clinical pregnancy, perinatal, and neonatal outcomes were compared between the donor sperm and partner sperm groups. Results: The embryo development was better in the donor sperm group than in the partner sperm group. The high-quality embryo and available embryo rates were significantly higher in the donor sperm group (P<0.05 for both groups). The rate of high-quality embryos transferred from the donor sperm group was higher than that from the partner sperm group (P<0.05). The clinical pregnancy (62.99% Conclusions: Compared with partner sperm, donor sperm did not reduce live birth rate and did not increase neonatal LBW or low birth defects.
