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
purposeThis study is to evaluate duration of oocyte cryostorage and association with thaw survival, fertilization, blastulation, ploidy rates, and pregnancy outcomes in patients seeking fertility preservation.
methodsRetrospective cohort study to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients who underwent fertility preservation from 2011 to 2023 via oocyte vitrification for non-oncologic indications. Primary outcome was thaw survival rate. Secondary outcomes included rates of fertilization, blastulation and embryo ploidy, as well asn pregnancy outcomes. Demographic, controlled ovarian stimulation, and laboratory data were collected for each patient. Analyses were conducted using Kruskal-Wallis, Fisher's exact test, or Chi-squared test, as appropriate. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized, and adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using Group A as the reference group.
resultsA total of 5995 oocytes met inclusion criteria. These were divided into quartiles based on duration of cryostorage. Group A included oocytes in cryostorage for 0-2 years; Group B, 3-5 years; and Group C, 6-11 years. Significant differences were found when comparing thaw survival (p < 0.0001), fertilization (p = 0.0009), and blastulation rates (p = 0.0002) among groups; however, no significant differences were seen after multivariate GEE regression analysis. No significant differences were seen in rates of euploidy (p = 0.70), live birth (p = 0.81), and clinical pregnancy (p = 0.58) among groups. After analyzing years in cryostorage as a continuous variable and controlling for confounders, duration of cryostorage was not related to odds of thaw, fertilization, blastulation, euploid rates, or pregnancy outcomes.
conclusionLength of time in cryostorage is not associated with compromised rates of oocyte thaw survival, fertilization, blastulation, ploidy, or pregnancy outcomes.
