Impact of Previous-day versus Same-day Warming of Cleavage-stage Embryos on Reproductive Outcomes: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of human reproductive sciences. 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
Background: Studies have assessed the impact of culturing warmed cleavage-stage embryos to blastocyst in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles; there is a paucity of studies that have evaluated the impact of warming of day 3 embryos and culturing for a day before embryo transfer. Aim: The purpose of this research was to study whether warming of day 3 embryos and subsequent transfer on day 4 versus same-day warming and transfer of day 3 embryos improves the treatment outcomes following a FET. Settings and Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in the Department of Reproductive Medicine and Surgery at Christian Medical College, Vellore, India. All couples who underwent FET at our centre between January 2016 and December 2023 were screened for eligibility. Materials and Methods: The patients were divided into two groups according to the stage of the embryo that was transferred: warmed and transferred the same day as a day 3 embryo. The other group in which embryos were warmed the previous day of embryo transfer, cultured for 1 day and were transferred as day 4 embryo. The study groups were matched for age and body mass index by case-control matching. After case-control matching, 209 FET cycles were analysed in either group. The primary outcome was live birth rate (LBR). Statistical Analysis Used: A parametric Results: The clinical pregnancy rate per transfer (41.1% vs. 38.2%, Conclusion: Warming cleavage-stage embryos and culturing for 1 extra day did not show any significant difference in FET outcomes.
