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

backgroundPrevious studies has yielded contradictory findings regarding the relationship between controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocol and euploid blastocyst rate. This study aimed to investigate whether progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) influences the euploidy rate and pregnancy outcomes in preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) cycles compared to GnRH antagonist protocol.

methodsThe retrospective study analyzed data from 598 PGT-A cycles conducted between January 2017 and October 2022 utilizing either PPOS (medroxyprogesterone acetate) or the GnRH antagonist protocol. The biopsied trophectoderm from 2218 blastocysts was collected for euploidy analysis via next-generation sequencing.

resultsBiopsied blastocyst number was comparable between PPOS group and GnRH antagonist group (3.51 ± 2.93 vs. 3.91 ± 3.19, P = 0.116), although PPOS yielded fewer MII oocytes (10.27 ± 6.59 vs. 11.60 ± 6.71, P = 0.015). The euploidy rate (43.3% vs. 45.0%, P = 0.423), aneuploidy rate (36.9% vs. 36.0%, P = 0.127), and mosaic rate (19.4% vs. 17.6%, P = 0.127) were similar between the PPOS and GnRH antagonist protocols. Additionally, PPOS demonstrated comparable pregnancy outcomes to GnRH antagonist protocol, including clinical pregnancy rates (58.1% vs. 59.8%, P = 0.713) and live birth rates (51.1% vs. 46.9%, P = 0.364). But lower miscarriage rate was shown in the PPOS protocol (7.9% vs. 16.8%, P = 0.019).

conclusionsThe PPOS protocol did not negatively impact euploid blastocyst formation or pregnancy outcomes compared to the GnRH antagonist protocol, indicating that medroxyprogesterone acetate was an alternate option to antagonists for women undergoing PGT-A.
