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

Embryo quality evaluation during in vitro development is a crucial factor for the success of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). However, the subjectivity inherent in the morphological evaluation by embryologists can introduce inconsistencies that impact the optimal embryo choice for transfer. To provide a more comprehensive evaluation of embryo quality, we undertook the integration of embryo metabolomics alongside standardized morphokinetic classification. The culture medium of 55 embryos (derived from 21 couples undergoing ICSI) was collected at two timepoints (days 3 and 5). Samples were split into Good (n = 29), Lagging (n = 19), and Bad (n = 10) according to embryo morphokinetic evaluation. Embryo metabolic performance was assessed by monitoring the variation in specific metabolites (pyruvate, lactate, alanine, glutamine, acetate, formate) using
