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 any correlation between the outcomes of the first euploid frozen-thawed blastocyst embryo transfer (FBT) and the subsequent euploid FBT derived from sibling oocytes.

methodsThis retrospective study analyzed data from 1051 women who underwent preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy and had a euploid FBT. Of these patients, 159 underwent a second transfer. The primary outcome was the live birth rate.

resultsOverall, 159 women who underwent a second euploid FBT were categorized into two subgroups depending on the implantation success of the first FBT. Of these patients, 94 (59.1%) belonged to the nonclinical group, signifying a negative result or a biochemical pregnancy. The remaining 65 (40.9%) patients belonged to the clinical group, indicating either a miscarriage or a live birth. In the binary logistic regression analysis, the live birth outcome during the first euploid FBT was a statistically significant and independent predictor of live birth in the subsequent FBT [odds ratio 4.14, 95% confidence interval (1.184-14.531), p < 0.026). Miscarriages, including those that occurred before intracytoplasmic sperm injection and in the first euploid FBT, reduced the live birth rate by approximately 34% (p < 0.027). No significant difference in the miscarriage rate was found between the two subgroups (19.2% (10/52) vs. 25.4% (14/55), p = 0.38).

conclusionThe live birth outcome of the second euploid FBT is mainly determined by the live birth outcome of the first. Miscarriages that occurred before in vitro fertilization negatively affect the live birth outcome.
