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

Fundamental to the success of the IVF laboratory is the use of an optimized embryo culture system that facilitates the production of high-quality blastocysts. This is achieved through the establishment of a culture system that encompasses the provision of essential nutrients by use of appropriate culture media, the maintenance of a stable environment in vitro and establishment of effective quality control protocols within the laboratory. While there is considerable variability in the culture systems used in IVF laboratories worldwide, as no standardized system exists, all modern embryo culture systems could be optimized by following these fundamental principles. This chapter describes one method for human blastocyst culture using a time-lapse culture system and highlights key considerations for optimizing embryo culture protocols.
