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

purposeThe objective of this study was to investigate whether women with diminished ovarian reserve who planned for PGT-A exhibit a lower number of blastocysts for biopsy, ploidy outcomes, and blastocyst quality on day 5, regardless of age.

methodsA retrospective analysis was performed between March 2017 and July 2020 at ART Fertility Clinics Abu Dhabi, including couples that were triggered for final oocyte maturation in an ovarian stimulated cycle planned for PGT-A. Patients were stratified into four AMH groups: < 0.65 ng/ml, 0.65-1.29 ng/ml, 1.3-6.25 ng/ml, and > 6.25 ng/ml; four age categories: ≤ 30, 31-35, 36-40, and > 40 years. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: A total of 1410 couples with a mean maternal age of 35.2 ± 6.4 years and AMH of 2.7 ± 2.6 ng/ml were included. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, controlling for age, the chance of having at least one blastocyst biopsied/stimulated cycle (1156/1410), the chance of having at least one euploid blastocyst/stimulated cycle (880/1410), and the chance of having one euploid blastocyst once biopsy was performed (880/1156) were affected in all patients with AMH < 0.65 ng/ml [AdjOR 0.18[0.11-0.31] p = 0.008)], [AdjOR 0.18 [0.11-0.29] p < 0.001], and [AdjOR 0.34 [0.19-0.61] p = 0.015] as well as in patients with AMH 0.65-1.29 ng/ml (AdjOR 0.52 [0.32-0.84] p < 0.001), (AdjOR 0.49 [0.33-0.72] p < 0.001), and (AdjOR 0.57 [0.36-0.90] p < 0.001), respectively. In a multivariate linear regression analysis, AMH values did not affect blastocyst quality (- 0.72 [- 1.03 to - 0.41] p < 0.001).

conclusionIrrespective of age, patients with diminished ovarian reserve (AMH < 1.3 ng/ml) have a lower chance of having at least one blastocyst biopsied and lower chance of having at least one euploid blastocyst per ovarian stimulated cycle. Blastocyst quality was not affected by AMH values.
