Correlation of the position and status of the polar body from the fertilized oocyte to the euploid status of blastocysts.

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
Polar bodies are tiny cells that are extruded during oocyte meiosis and are generally considered not essential for embryonic development. Therefore, polar bodies have been widely used as important materials for the preimplantation genetic diagnosis of human embryos. Recent studies have shown that polar bodies mediate embryonic development and that their morphology is related to embryo quality and developmental potential. However, the relationship between the emission of the polar body and embryonic euploidy remains unclear. In this study, a total of 1,360 blastocyst trophectoderm (TE) biopsies were performed, and blastocyst ploidy results were correlated with the state of polar bodies. The results showed that polar body angle size and polar body status are not directly related to whether the blastocysts are euploid, aneuploid, or mosaic (
