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

backgroundIn this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of the duration of cryopreservation storage on embryo viability, implantation competence, pregnancy outcome and neonatal outcomes.

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of patients who underwent IVF with vitrified cryopreserved embryos between January 2004 and August 2019 by following the first frozen embryo transfer cycles within the study period. A total of 31,143 patients met the inclusion criteria and were grouped according to the embryo storage time as follows: Group 1 (n = 20,926),1-90 days; Group 2 (n = 6,472), 91-180 days; Group 3 (n = 2,237), 181-365 days; Group 4 (n = 746), 366-730 days; and Group 5 (n = 762), > 731 days.

resultsThe embryo survival rate decreased significantly with longer durations of cryopreservation. The highest and lowest survival rate was recorded in Group 1 and Group 5, respectively (34853/35338; 98.63% vs. 1281/1801; 71.13%; P < 0.01). The human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) detection and clinical pregnancy rate was highest in Group 1 (57.85% and 55. 26%, respectively; P < 0.01). Short-term cryopreservation (≤ 3 months) is associated with higher rates of clinical pregnancy. There were no significant differences in neonatal birth weight, neonatal height and congenital anomalies among the groups (P > 0. 05).

conclusionThe prolonged storage time of vitrified embryos negatively affected survival rate and clinical pregnancy rate. It did not have a significant influence on neonatal health. This study provides new findings about the relationship between prolonged storage time of vitrified embryos and clinical outcomes and offers evidence for the safety of using long-stored embryos after vitrification.
