Association between hatching status and pregnancy outcomes in single blastocyst transfers: a retrospective cohort analysis.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo examine the potential association between blastocyst hatching status and pregnancy outcomes following single blastocyst transfer.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort. We screened all frozen-thawed single blastocyst transfer cycles from January 1, 2020, to April 30, 2022, at the authors' center. The hatching status was graded into four categories: unhatched, early hatching (hatched portion < the diameter of zona pellucida), late hatching (hatched portion > the diameter of zona pellucida), and fully hatched. Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine the association between hatching status and pregnancy outcomes (clinical pregnancy and live birth).
resultsThe final analysis included 906 cycles. The hatching status was unhatched in 116 cycles, early hatching in 556 cycles, late hatching in 197 cycles, and fully hatched in 37 cycles. The clinical pregnancy rate was 54.3%, 63.3%, 74.6%, and 54.1%, respectively (p = 0.001) in the unhatched, early-hatching, late-hatching, and fully hatched groups, respectively. The live birth rate was 39.7%, 51.6%, 58.3%, and 40.5%, respectively (p = 0.008). In pairwise comparisons, the late-hatching group had significantly higher rates of clinical pregnancy and live birth versus the unhatched category (p = 0.001 and p = 0.008, respectively). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, embryo hatching status, the duration until blastocyst formation, the grading of blastocyst cells, and the thickness of the endometrium were associated with clinical pregnancy and live birth.
conclusionAfter adjusting for confounding factors, late-hatching status of the blastocysts was associated with a higher rate of clinical pregnancy and live birth.
