Clinical outcomes of frozen-thawed blastocysts from zygotes with no or one pronucleus for in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles.

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
purposeTo investigate the clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles using frozen-thawed blastocyst transfers derived from zygotes with no (0PN) or one pronucleus (1PN).
methodsThis retrospective study included 7084 0PN, 2238 1PN, and 72,266 two pronuclear (2PN) embryos cultured to the blastocyst stage from 19,631 IVF and 12,377 ICSI cycles between March 2018 and December 2021. Developmental potential and clinical outcomes of 0PN, 1PN, and 2PN embryos were analyzed. A total of 290 0PN-, 92 1PN-, and 1906 2PN-derived single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfers were performed. Chromosome euploid rates of 0PN-, 1PN-, and 2PN-derived blastocysts were analyzed by next-generation sequencing. Euploid 0PN- and 1PN-derived blastocysts underwent subsequent Infinium Asian Screening Array gene chip analysis to detect ploidy alterations.
resultsAvailable blastocyst rates of 0PN and 1PN embryos were significantly lower than those of 2PN embryos in both IVF and ICSI cycles. Single 0PN and 1PN blastocysts transferred in frozen-thawed cycles resulted in a similar clinical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, live birth rate, and neonatal outcome to 2PN blastocysts in IVF and ICSI cycles. Genetic analysis showed that euploid rates of 0PN- and 1PN-derived blastocysts used for ICSI cycles were similar to that of 2PN-derived blastocysts.
conclusionOur study indicated that 0PN- and 1PN-derived blastocysts resulted in similar clinical outcomes to 2PN-derived blastocysts. The 0PN- and 1PN-derived blastocysts from ICSI cycles can be transferred as well as those from IVF cycles when the number of 2PN-derived blastocysts is insufficient.
