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

purposeTo investigate developmental competence and neonatal outcomes of nonpronuclear (0PN) zygotes following single vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfers (VBT).

methodsThe clinical, laboratorial and neonatal data of 996 patients with ≤ 38 years who underwent blastocyst culture and single VBT were retrospectively analyzed. The pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of VBT were compared between 0PN and 2PN blastocysts using propensity score matching (PSM). Moreover, Day 3 (D3) embryo development and blastocyst formation were compared between 0PN and 2PN zygotes.

resultsThere were no significant differences in clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), live birth rate (LBR) and neonatal outcomes of VBT between the 0PN and 2PN blastocysts irrespectively of whether PSM was used. However, early abortion rate (EAR) was higher in blastocysts from 0PN D3 embryos > 10 cells (p < 0.05) before PSM. Moreover, the early developmental competence of 0PN zygotes was different from that of 2PN zygotes presenting higher percentages of D3 embryos ≤ 6 cells (p < 0.01) and > 10 cells (p < 0.01), lower available blastocyst formation rate (ABFR) (p < 0.01) and good-quality blastocyst formation rate (GBFR) (p < 0.01) in D3 embryos with 4-6 cells. ABFR and GBFR increased with cell number when compared among embryos with 4-6 cells, 7-10 cells and > 10 cells, irrespectively of 0PN or 2PN embryos.

conclusionThe early developmental competence of 0PN zygotes was different from that of 2PN zygotes, but did not influence pregnancy and neonatal outcomes following VBT. ABFR and GBFR increased with cell number, irrespectively of 0PN or 2PN embryos.
