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

Background: Even after the transfer of euploid embryos selected by Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), clinical pregnancies may still result in miscarriage. The subsequent detection of chromosomal copy number variations (CNVs) in the products of conception in some cases reflects the inherent limitations of PGT-A technology. Case report: Two couples underwent PGT-A treatments at assisted reproduction center of Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital, with the respective indications of recurrent pregnancy loss and advanced maternal age. For both, ovarian stimulation was conducted by an antagonist protocol, followed by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The embryos were cultured to the blastocyst stage, at which timepoint trophectoderm biopsy was performed. Following genetic analysis, available euploid blastocysts were identified for both couples. However, both pregnancies were identified as missed abortions during the first trimester after transferring one euploid blastocyst each. Subsequent CNV analysis carried out on the products of conception showed the presence of embryonic mosaicism. Conclusion: The two cases highlight the critical need for thorough patient counselling regarding the technical constraints as well as the potential risks of PGT-A. Additionally, they emphasize the indispensable value of prenatal diagnosis after transfer of euploid blastocyst identified by PGT-A.
