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

This work describes the development and validation of a fully automated deep learning model, iDAScore v2.0, for the evaluation of human embryos incubated for 2, 3, and 5 or more days. We trained and evaluated the model on an extensive and diverse dataset including 181,428 embryos from 22 IVF clinics across the world. To discriminate the transferred embryos with known outcome, we show areas under the receiver operating curve ranging from 0.621 to 0.707 depending on the day of transfer. Predictive performance increased over time and showed a strong correlation with morphokinetic parameters. The model's performance is equivalent to the KIDScore D3 model on day 3 embryos while it significantly surpasses the performance of KIDScore D5 v3 on day 5+ embryos. This model provides an analysis of time-lapse sequences without the need for user input, and provides a reliable method for ranking embryos for their likelihood of implantation, at both cleavage and blastocyst stages. This greatly improves embryo grading consistency and saves time compared to traditional embryo evaluation methods.
