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

Mosaicism, the presence of both euploid and aneuploid cell lines within a single embryo, presents a significant challenge in assisted reproduction. While emerging data support the transfer of mosaic embryos in the absence of euploid alternatives, clinical outcomes are variable. Evidence suggests a correlation between the degree of mosaicism and developmental potential, with higher-level mosaicism generally associated with less favorable outcomes, including reduced implantation and higher miscarriage rates. We present the case of an uneventful liveborn delivery resulting from the intentional transfer of an embryo classified via preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), as exhibiting very high-level mosaicism (75%). This transfer was performed due to the absence of any euploid embryos available for selection. This case demonstrates that even embryos with a very high degree of chromosomal mosaicism can result in healthy, ongoing pregnancies and live births. It contributes to the growing body of evidence on the clinical potential of mosaic embryos and highlights the necessity for nuanced, patient-specific counseling when considering such transfers.
