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 evaluate whether sequencing platforms affect genetic testing results and cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) in preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) cycles.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 506 cycles with female age ≤ 40 years old conducted at a single reproductive center. These cycles were divided into two groups (Platform A and Platform B) based on the sequencing platforms. Primary outcomes were CLBR. Secondary outcomes were genetic testing results.

resultsPlatform A exhibited lower euploidy rates (49.46% vs. 55.75%; P = 0.007) and higher aneuploidy rates (36.92% vs. 30.73%; P = 0.005). The increased aneuploidy in Platform A was driven by a higher segmental aneuploidy (SA) rate (11.44% vs. 6.30%; P < 0.001), whereas whole-chromosomal aneuploidy (WA) rates were similar (25.48% vs. 24.43%; P = 0.607). Platform A demonstrated a lower genetically transferable blastocysts (GTB) rate (53.68% vs. 61.80%; P < 0.001) and higher cycle cancellation rate (21.65% vs. 11.86%; P = 0.003). Although CLBR per FET cycle was comparable (77.63% vs. 79.27%; P = 0.692), CLBR per biopsied cycle was significantly higher for Platform B (60.82% vs. 69.87%; P = 0.036). The subgroup analysis in < 38 years demonstrated consistent results. Multivariate regression confirmed that platform selection independently impacted CLBR (R

conclusionThis study provides evidence that sequencing platform selection significantly influences PGT-A genetic testing results and clinical outcomes, as our analysis revealed substantial platform-dependent variability in SA detection rates and CLBR.
