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

Background: The integration of deep learning (DL) and time-lapse imaging technologies offers new possibilities for improving embryo assessment and selection in clinical Objectives: This scoping review aims to explore the range of deep learning model applications in the evaluation and selection of embryos monitored through time-lapse imaging systems. Methods: A total of 6 electronic databases (Scopus, MEDLINE, EMBASE, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, and Google Scholar) were searched for peer-reviewed literature published before May 2024. We adhered to the PRISMA guidelines for reporting scoping reviews. Results: Out of the 773 articles reviewed, 77 met the inclusion criteria. Over the past four years, the use of DL in embryo analysis has increased rapidly. The primary applications of DL in the reviewed studies included predicting embryo development and quality (61%, Conclusion: Our results highlight the diverse applications and potential of deep learning in clinical IVF and suggest directions for future advancements in embryo evaluation and selection techniques.
