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

Objective: Life Whisperer Viability (LW) is a software that evaluates embryos from a single image of blastocyst using artificial intelligence and is expected to improve the objectivity of embryo evaluation. In the present study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical utility of LW. Methods: This study included 198 cycles in 135 patients who underwent frozen single embryo transfer. LW scores of transferred embryos were obtained from images taken approximately 116 h after fertilization. Based on LW scores, patients were divided into four groups (poor: 0-2.4; fair: 2.5-7.4; good: 7.5-8.9; excellent: 9.0-10), and rates of positive fetal heartbeat were compared among the groups. In addition, logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between LW score and the presence or absence of fetal heartbeat. Results: The rate of positive fetal heartbeat was significantly higher in the excellent group (64.3%, 36/56) than in the poor group (27.6%, 8/29) ( Conclusion: LW enables selection of embryos with a high potential for clinical pregnancy, demonstrating its clinical utility.
