Too many embryos: a critical perspective on a global challenge.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Over the past decade, significant endeavors have been directed toward establishing an optimal oocyte number to maximize the chances for successful in vitro fertilization outcomes. The effectiveness of assisted reproductive technologies has greatly improved, and more good-quality embryos are being created in each cycle. However, many of these embryos remain unused. Notably, in Europe, approximately one-third of couples did not use their surplus cryopreserved embryos. Surplus embryos pose a challenge for patients and clinics. Embryo disposal practices are not the same all over the continent, with embryo donation and embryo discharge not allowed in several countries. In this scenario, limiting the number of surplus embryos by reducing the number of inseminated oocytes, according to couple clinical history, could be a strategy.
