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

objectivesThis study aimed to determine whether chromosomal mosaicism in blastocysts is associated with a distinct morphokinetic signature.

methodsPreimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) was performed on 182 human embryos via trophectoderm biopsy on day 5 and analyzed by next-generation sequencing. Embryos were classified as euploid (n = 55), mosaic (n = 39: 21 low-grade, 18 high-grade), or aneuploid (n = 88), of which 18 with concurrent mosaicism. Prior to biopsy, embryos were cultured in a time-lapse system (EmbryoScope), and 12 morphokinetic parameters were assessed, including pronuclei fading (tPNf), cleavage times (t2-t9), morula formation (tM), blastulation start (tSB), and full blastocyst formation (tB). These parameters were compared according to ploidy status.

resultsPatients with euploid and mosaic embryos were comparable in terms of maternal age, ART indication and embryo quality (

conclusionsMosaic embryos exhibit delays in early development (tPNf, t2) but reach later morphokinetic milestones at rates similar to euploid embryos. In contrast, aneuploid embryos, especially those with mosaicism, exhibit marked developmental delays at later stages (t7, t8, tM, tB).
