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

purposeThis study investigated the impact of low versus high oxygen tension on the oocyte maturation rate in biphasic CAPA-IVM.

methodsA sibling oocyte pilot study of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) from participants with polycystic ovary syndrome was performed at an academic IVF center in Vietnam from November 2023 to May 2024. At collection, COCs were allocated to undergo CAPA-IVM culture with low oxygen tension (5%) or high oxygen tension (20%). Culture of COCs took place in two benchtop incubators, each equipped with commercial mix-gas bottles to establish the respective oxygen conditions. The primary outcome was the oocyte maturation rate. Secondary outcomes were rates of two-pronuclei fertilization, day-3 embryos, blastocyst formation, and good-quality embryos.

resultsA total of 554 COCs from 20 participants were assigned to the low oxygen (276 COCs) or high oxygen (278 COCs) tension groups. The oocyte maturation rate was significantly lower in the low oxygen tension versus high oxygen tension group (53.6% vs. 65.8%, risk ratio 0.81, 95% confidence interval 0.71-0.94; p=0.004). The two-pronuclei fertilization rate was significantly lower in the low oxygen tension versus high oxygen tension group (61.5% vs. 72.7%, p=0.03). Numbers of day-3 embryos, blastocysts, and good-quality blastocysts were slightly, but not significantly, lower in the low oxygen tension group compared with the high oxygen tension group.

conclusionsLow oxygen tension of 5% during both steps of biphasic CAPA-IVM reduced the number of matured oocytes and 2-pronuclei fertilized oocytes compared with the use of high oxygen tension (20%) during CAPA-IVM.
