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

purposeTo investigate whether re-biopsy and re-vitrification affect embryo developmental potential and clinical outcomes.

methodsEmbryos that underwent preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) and single embryo transfer between December 2017 and April 2024 were studied. All embryos were categorized into three groups: fresh biopsy and vitrification (BV group; n = 346); thawed, biopsied, and subsequently vitrified (VBV group; n = 12); fresh biopsied, vitrified, further thawed and biopsied again due to inconclusive results from the previous biopsy (BVBV group; n = 19). The live birth rate and miscarriage rate will be evaluated after embryo transfer in each group.

resultsLive birth rate (LBR) was not statistically significant among the BV group (50.00%), VBV group [41.67%; adjusted relative risks (aRR) 0.96; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.81-1.14], and BVBV group (42.11%; aRR 0.97, 95% CI: 0.83-1.13). The miscarriage rate was not statistically significant: BV group (11.27%); VBV group (25%; aRR 1.09, 95% CI: 0.95-1.25), and BVBV group (5.26%; aRR 0.97, 95% CI: 0.91-1.02).

conclusionsThe differences in LBR and miscarriage rates among the groups were not statistically significant. However, the limited sample sizes of the VBV and BVBV groups cannot rule out the possibility of moderate differences. Some embryos can be successfully salvaged, leading to live births. To minimize inconclusive results, the laboratory should refine the procedural details.
