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 compare embryologic and clinical outcomes following oocyte cryopreservation (OC) and immediate fertilization for embryo cryopreservation (EC) in non-infertile patients.

designRetrospective cohort study SUBJECTS: Patients treated at a single fertility center from 2016 to 2023. EXPOSURE: OC

main outcome measuresBlastocyst development was compared between women undergoing OC and non-infertile women undergoing immediate fertilization for EC between 18 and 42 years of age. ICSI, PGT-A, and eSET were used in all cycles.

resultsOutcomes from 3697 thawed MII oocytes obtained from 239 OC patients were compared to 28,959 fresh MII oocytes obtained from 2031 patients undergoing immediate fertilization for EC. Average thaw MII survival rate was 92% and high across age groups. Post-thaw oocytes demonstrate lower fertilization rate compared to fresh oocytes (85% v 90%, p < 0.05). As oocyte age increased, the mean number of MII used per blastocyst increased to a greater extent among thawed compared to fresh oocytes (2.9 v 2.2 MII age 18-34, 3.3 v 2.5 MII age 34-37, 3.9 v 2.9 MII age 38-40, 7.5 v 3.9 MII age 41-42, p < 0.05). Among patients achieving transfer of a euploid blastocyst, clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate per transfer were similar using thawed and fresh oocytes (p = 0.82 and p = 0.79, respectively).

conclusionsBlastocyst conversion is lower from thawed oocytes compared to fresh oocytes. Differences in blastocyst development between thawed and frozen oocytes increase with advancing oocyte age, suggesting that older oocytes may be less efficient in their conversion to blastocysts after vitrification and warming.
