Effect of blastocyst quality on neonatal outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles: a cohort study.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 study the effect of blastocyst quality on neonatal outcomes in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.
methodsThis retrospective study included a total of 7,308 women who underwent single blastocyst transfer during FET cycles and achieved singleton live births from January 2015 to June 2022. Women were categorized into two groups: poor-quality blastocyst (PQB; n = 2540) and good-quality blastocyst (GQB; n = 4768). The primary outcomes were the rates of cesarean section and male sex. The second outcomes were very small for gestational age (VSGA), small for gestational age (SGA), large for gestational age (LGA), very large for gestational age (VLGA), very preterm birth (VPTB), preterm birth (PTB), high birth weight (HBW), very low birth weight (VLBW), low birth weight (LBW), gestational age, and birth weight.
resultsCompared with the PQB group, the GQB group was associated with a decreased cesarean section rate (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.88, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.77-0.99; P = 0.034) and an increased likelihood of having a male child (aOR 1.27, 95%CI, 1.14-1.40; P < 0.001). However, no differences were observed in other neonatal outcomes, including VSGA, SGA, LGA, VLGA, VPTB, PTB, HBW, VLBW, LBW, gestational age, and birth weight.
conclusionsGQB is associated with a decreased cesarean section rate and an increased likelihood of having a male child. However, it has no effect on other neonatal outcomes. Therefore, both clinicians and patients can be reassured about the neonatal outcomes of singleton live births resulting from PQB in FET cycles.
