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

backgroundAssisted reproductive technology (ART) has been widely used to treat infertility for more than four decades, but its efficacy is still lower than expected. Therefore, further exploration of the factors that affect the pregnancy outcome of ART treatment is necessary. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective study of chromosome rearrangement carrier couples who requested preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for structural rearrangements at the Fourth Hospital of Shijiazhuang was conducted between February 2019 and December 2022. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors for pregnancy.

resultsIn total, 113 couples were transferred with a single euploid blastocyst, and 77 couples achieved pregnancy. Women with good-quality embryos transferred had a higher probability of pregnancy than women with poor-quality embryos transferred (OR 6.149, 95% CI 2.026-18.658). The chance of pregnancy was higher in women with a pregnancy history than in women without a pregnancy history (OR 3.181, 95% CI 1.157-8.747). The progesterone level on the day of trigger was positively associated with pregnancy (OR 2.605, 95% CI 1.226-5.538).

conclusionEmbryo quality is significantly associated with the pregnancy rate in patients treated with PGT. Embryo ploidy is just one of the factors affecting embryo development. Future studies should focus on the molecular mechanisms of embryo development and develop corresponding detection methods.
