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 evaluate the live birth rate (LBR) following donor frozen embryo transfer (dFET) of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) versus untested donor embryos, stratified by blastocyst morphologic grade (MG).

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of 146 patients undergoing dFET of a single euploid blastocyst from fresh or frozen oocytes using PGT-A compared to age-matched controls (1:1 ratio) who did not use PGT-A. Primary outcome was LBR. LBR was compared among cohorts, with further stratification by (1) high/low MG and (2) fresh/frozen oocyte status. Secondary outcomes included perinatal outcomes. RESULT(S): Median age in both groups was 44.5 years (p = 0.98). LBR was similar among the two cohorts (PGT-A: 57.5% vs. untested: 50.0%, p = 0.20). There was similar LBR in fresh (PGT-A: 59.2% vs. untested: 50.0%, p = 0.20) and frozen (PGT-A: 47.6% vs. untested: 50.0%, p = 0.85) oocyte subgroups. When stratified by MG, we appreciated similar LBR among high-quality blastocysts (PGT-A-high: 56.5% vs. untested-high: 52.3%, p = 0.49) among the whole cohort, as well as in fresh (fresh-PGT-A-high: 58.3% vs. fresh-untested-high: 52.9%, p = 0.46) and frozen (frozen-PGT-A-high: 44.4% vs. frozen-untested-high: 51.7%, p = 0.59) subgroups. Similarly, we appreciated no difference in LBR among low-quality blastocysts (PGT-A-low: 75.0% vs. untested-low: 31.2%, p = 0.08) among the whole cohort, as well as in the fresh (fresh-PGT-A-low: 80.0% vs. fresh-untested-low: 16.1%, p = 0.08) or frozen (frozen-PGT-A-low: 66.7% vs. frozen-untested-low: 40.0%, p = 0.56) subgroups. Gestational age (37.8 weeks, p = 1.0) and infant birth weight (PGT-A: 3128.0 g vs. untested: 3150.2 g, p = 0.60) were similar. CONCLUSION(S): Though limited by the small number of MG blastocysts, overall PGT-A did not improve LBR regardless of blastocyst quality from fresh and previously frozen donor oocytes. CAPSULE: Use of PGT-A did not improve live birth rate regardless of blastocyst quality from both fresh and previously frozen donor oocytes.
