Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy on previously cryopreserved unbiopsied blastocysts: a cohort study in women with IVF pregnancy loss.
Observational study in Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
research questionDoes preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) on cryopreserved unbiopsied blastocysts improve pregnancy outcomes for women with previous IVF-related pregnancy loss?
methodsThis retrospective observational study included women who underwent vitrified blastocyst warming procedures, with or without trophectoderm biopsy for PGT-A, between January 2016 and June 2023. Participants had experienced two or more clinical pregnancy losses, with at least one loss following in vitro fertilization (IVF). The primary outcome was the cumulative live birth/ongoing pregnancy rate, analyzed using generalized estimating equations (GEE) with confounding adjustments.
resultsThe cohort included 146 women, comprising 72 who intended to pursue PGT-A on thawed blastocysts (274 blastocysts) and 74 who proceeded directly to frozen embryo transfer (FET) without prior PGT-A (107 blastocysts). Fourteen women in the PGT-A group had no euploid embryos available for transfer. Among these, two patients had no warmed blastocysts suitable for testing, and twelve had all aneuploid embryoid. The cumulative live birth/ongoing pregnancy rate was significantly lower in the PGT-A group compared to the non-PGT-A group (34.7% [25/72] vs. 52.7% [39/74], adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26-0.99, P = 0.048). Secondary outcomes, including live birth and pregnancy loss rates after initial FET, were comparable between the two groups. Among tested blastocysts, 58 (82.9%) had at least one euploid embryo, resulting in a euploidy rate of 48.6% (125/257).
conclusionsPGT-A on cryopreserved unbiopsied blastocysts reduces cumulative live birth/ongoing pregnancy rates and could not improve pregnancy outcomes following the initial FET cycle in women with a history of IVF pregnancy loss.
