Live birth following transfer of a euploid blastocyst derived from a 5PN zygote: a case report.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAbnormal pronuclear formation, including five pronuclei (5PN), is generally considered indicative of abnormal fertilization (e.g., polyspermy or failure of polar body extrusion) and leads to routine embryo discard in many IVF programs. However, emerging evidence suggests that a minority of embryos with atypical pronuclear patterns may develop into a blastocyst and present diploid constitution after genetic testing, challenging the assumption that abnormal pronuclear morphology invariably predicts non-viability. CASE REPORT: We report a rare case in which a 5PN zygote developed into a morphologically high-quality blastocyst was confirmed euploid-diploid by PGT-A, transferred in a subsequent frozen embryo transfer cycle, and resulted in the live birth of a healthy child.
conclusionThis case adds to the limited but growing evidence that embryos with atypical pronuclear presentation may retain reproductive potential when development on time-lapse appears coherent and validated genetic testing confirms diploidy and euploidy, supported by appropriate patient counseling and informed consent.
