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

backgroundTo investigate whether the noninvasive preimplantation genetic testing (niPGT) complement conventional preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) in the embryos for aneuploidy.

results40 spent culture medium (SCM) samples from routine embryo culture were collected, and half of each SCM (10 µL) sample was used for whole genome amplification, while the other half was stored at -80 °C for 3-6 months. Thirty-six out of 40 fresh SCM samples were successfully amplified and sequenced. Thirty-six paired frozen-thawed SCM samples showed 100% concordance with the freshly amplified SCM samples. Then, SCM and trophectoderm (TE) samples from 149 blastocysts from 51 couples were collected. A 98.0% successful SCM sample amplification rate (146/149) was achieved. For the 146 paired TE biopsy and SCM samples, the overall concordance rate was 82.9% (121/146). Ten embryos with aneuploid TE results but euploid niPGT results were donated. A 70.0% (7/10) true negative rate was achieved by niPGT with respect to the inner cell mass (ICM) results (TE-positive embryos).

conclusionsThese results suggested that SCM stored at -80 °C for 6 months without affecting niPGT results based on NICSInst amplification.
