Morphometric assessment of blastocysts: relationship with the ongoing pregnancy rate.
Article in F&S reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objective: To explore a morphometric grading system for blastocysts that is associated with ongoing pregnancy. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: None. Patientss: All consecutive vitrified blastocysts at our center from July 2018 to November 2021 that were transferred in single blastocyst transfer cycles until January 2022. Interventions: None. Main Outcome Measures: The ongoing pregnancy rate after a single vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer. Interobserver agreement on morphometric values among embryologists. Results: Three morphometric variables (blastocyst diameter, area of inner cell mass [ICM], and the estimated trophectoderm cell count) were used to evaluate the expansion, ICM, and trophectoderm morphology. During the study period, 585 blastocysts were involved in this study. Of the 3 morphometric variables, ICM area (per 500 μm Conclusions: Morphometric values of ICM and trophectoderm are promising predictors of pregnancy success. The high reproducibility suggests that the morphometric variables will contribute to identifying blastocysts with the highest developmental potential as well as those that will not result in a successful pregnancy.
