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

objectiveTo investigate the association between a low oocyte maturity ratio from in vitro fertilization cycle and blastocyst euploidy.

methodsA total of 563 preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) cycles (PGT cycles with chromosomal structural rearrangements were excluded) were performed between January 2021 and November 2022 at our center (average oocyte maturity rate: 86.4% ± 14.6%). Among them, 93 PGT cycles were classified into the low oocyte maturity rate group (group A, < mean - 1 standard deviation [SD]), and 186 PGT cycles were grouped into the average oocyte maturity rate group (group B, mean ± 1 SD). Group B was 2:1 matched with group A. Embryological, blastocyst ploidy, and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups.

resultsThe oocyte maturity (metaphase II [MII oocytes]), MII oocyte rate, and two pronuclei (2PN) rates were significantly lower in group A than in group B (5.2 ± 3.0 vs. 8.9 ± 5.0, P = 0.000; 61.6% vs. 93.0%, P = 0.000; 78.7% vs. 84.8%, P = 0.002, respectively). In group A, 106 of 236 blastocysts (44.9%) that underwent PGT for aneuploidy were euploid, which was not significantly different from the rate in group B (336/729, 46.1%, P = 0.753). However, euploid blastocysts were obtained only in 55 cycles in group A (55/93, 59.1%), which was lower than the rate in group B (145/186, 78.0%, P = 0.001). The clinical pregnancy rate in group B (73.9%) was higher than that in group A (58.0%) (P = 0.040).

conclusionOur results suggest that a low oocyte maturity ratio is not associated with blastocyst euploidy but is associated with fewer cycles with euploid blastocysts for transfer, lower 2PN rates, and lower clinical pregnancy rates.
