Post-Thaw Day 5 Blastocyst Culture Time Prior to Transfer Does Not Affect Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) Outcomes in Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfer Cycles.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The frozen embryo transfer (FET) technique has been progressively used more worldwide due to improved culture conditions, as well as enhanced survival rates after vitrification. However, little is known about the effect of the post-thaw blastocyst culture duration prior to transfer on live birth rate in FET cycles. In this retrospective observational study, we evaluated the influence of two distinct post-thaw blastocyst culture spans (2-4 h versus 20-22 h) on clinical pregnancy and live birth rate. A total of
