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

Preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has already been applied in inversion carriers. However, it has not been well clarified which inversion carriers should be recommended for PGT-SR in clinical practice. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the segregation patterns of inverted loops in 522 blastocysts derived from 145 PGT-SR cycles. Multivariate logistic regression models were applied to identify independent predictors of unbalanced gamete production, while correlation analysis assessed the relationship between the rate of unbalanced embryos and inverted segment length. Among all embryos analyzed, 73 unbalanced embryos (13.98%, 73/522) related to the chromosome inversions originating from 33 carriers (31.43%, 33/105) were identified. Multivariate logistic regression showed neither the carrier's gender nor age affected the production of unbalanced embryos. In contrast, the probability in the pericentric inversion group was significantly higher than that in the paracentric inversion group (p < 0.001), and significant difference was also identified among different chromosomal groups, with groups A (Chr1-3) and C (Chr 6-12) showing higher rates than other groups (p = 0.034). Moreover, we found the haploid autosomal length (HAL) and the ratio of inverted segment size in carriers who produced unbalanced embryos were significantly higher than in those who did not (p < 0.001). Furthermore, our results indicated a positive correlation between Segment size% and the rate of unbalanced embryos (p = 0.042, r = 0.357). In conclusion, carriers of pericentric inversions involving chromosomes from groups A and C are more prone to producing unbalanced embryos. Furthermore, a larger inverted segment size is associated with a higher frequency of unbalanced embryos.
