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

introductionThis study investigated the impact of the carrier on transferable blastocyst rate and live birth outcomes in couples with structural chromosomal abnormalities.

methodsCouples were grouped into reciprocal translocation, Robertsonian translocation, or inversions groups, and clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) was conducted, and pregnancy outcomes were compared.

resultsEmbryo euploidy rates between male and female carriers differed nonsignificantly in the reciprocal translocation and inversion groups but significantly among the three groups. In the Robertsonian translocation group, male carriers had a higher embryo euploidy rate than that of female carriers. Sperm density of male carriers with reciprocal and Robertsonian translocation was significantly lower than that of the female carrier in the same group, whereas the difference was non-significant in the inversion group. The clinical outcomes of embryo transfer post-PGT were similar regardless of the sex of carriers with structural chromosomal abnormalities. Female carriers with Robertsonian translocations displayed a higher risk of producing embryos with chromosomal abnormalities than male carriers. Pregnancy, live birth, and cumulative live birth rates following a PGT-SR cycle were similar, irrespective of chromosomal structural rearrangement type, and carrier sex.

conclusionOur findings offer valuable information for genetic counseling.
