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
objectiveThis study aimed to compare aneuploidy rates and clinical outcomes between trophectoderm biopsy at fresh blastocyst (biopsy-fresh) followed by vitrification and biopsy at vitrified-warmed blastocyst (biopsy-vitri) followed by next day transfer (without re-vitrification).
methodsThis retrospective study included 844 patients undergoing 844 cycles conducted from August 2019 to December 2023. Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) was performed via trophectoderm biopsy using array comparative genomic hybridization or next-generation sequencing for comprehensive 24-chromosome screening. Patients were divided into two groups based on the blastocyst status at the time of biopsy: the biopsy-fresh group (531 patients) and the biopsy-vitri group (313 patients).
resultsThe clinical pregnancy rate was significantly higher in the biopsy-fresh group compared to the biopsy-vitri group (58.7% vs. 45.6%; odds ratio [OR], 1.695; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.215 to 2.364; p=0.002). Furthermore, the biopsy-fresh group showed higher implantation rates (45.6% vs. 32.1%; OR, 1.767; 95% CI, 1.274 to 2.451; p=0.002), ongoing pregnancy or live birth rates per cycle (48.0% vs. 35.8%; OR, 1.652; 95% CI, 1.177 to 2.319; p=0.004), and rates of good-quality blastocysts (57.1% vs. 32.1%, p<0.001) compared with the biopsy-vitri group. Miscarriage rates did not differ significantly between the groups (18.2% vs. 21.4%; OR, 0.818; 95% CI, 0.457 to 1.465; p=0.501).
conclusionBiopsy at fresh blastocyst demonstrated superior clinical outcomes compared with biopsy at vitrified-warmed blastocyst, likely due to better embryo quality. Both biopsy at fresh blastocyst and vitrified-warmed blastocyst remain viable options for PGT-A, with biopsy at vitrified-warmed blastocyst serving as a practical alternative. Embryo quality and euploid status continue to be critical considerations for embryo transfer selection.
