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

backgroundMosaic embryos have been proven to be capable of resulting in live births and have become an option for embryo transfer under certain circumstances. Recent guidelines suggested that embryo morphological scoring should be taken into consideration when selecting mosaic embryos for transfer. Therefore, we introduce a hypothesis that a high morphological scoring mosaic embryo is a better choice compared to a low morphological scoring euploid embryo. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 1641 embryo transfer cycles following next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). Participants were categorized into a mosaic group (87 cycles) and an euploid group (1554 cycles) based on the PGT-A results of the transferred embryos. Statistical methods including multivariate logistic regression analysis and propensity score matching (PSM) were employed to compare the pregnancy outcomes between mosaic and euploid embryo transfer cycles.

resultsMultivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the transfer of mosaic embryos was a prognosis for the reducing live birth rate (P = 0.043). Furthermore, when comparing the pregnancy outcomes of the high morphological scoring mosaic embryo transfer group with the low morphological scoring euploid embryo transfer group, no significant differences were observed (P > 0.05). Additionally, no significant differences in pregnancy outcomes were found between both the high morphological score low proportion and segmental mosaic group and the low morphological score euploid group (P > 0.05).

conclusionOur study indicated that morphological scoring has reference value when choosing between euploid and mosaic embryo transfers. Specifically, when the morphological score of euploid embryos is poor, mosaic embryos with high morphological scores could be a viable option after comprehensive prenatal consultation.
