Single frozen-thawed blastocyst derived from poor-grade Day 3 embryo is not associated with adverse neonatal outcomes: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2025. 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
purposeTo investigate whether single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfers derived from poor-grade Day 3 embryos influence neonatal outcomes.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study conducted in a tertiary academic medical center included all the live-born singletons (n = 3156) in vitrified-warmed single blastocyst transfer cycles from January 2013 to November 2023, which were divided into the poor-grade group (n = 2432) and the high-grade group (n = 724) based on the embryo grade on Day 3. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis and multivariate regression analysis were used to explore the association between the embryo grade on Day 3 and neonatal outcomes.
resultsAfter PSM, the baseline characteristics were all comparable between the two groups. There was a significant gender difference between the two groups (P = 0.004), while there were no differences in the mode of delivery, very preterm birth, preterm birth, very low birth weight, low birth weight, macrosomia, small for gestational age, large for gestational age, or congenital malformations (P > 0.05). After multivariate regression analysis, it was shown that the proportion of male neonates born through blastocyst transfer derived from poor-grade Day 3 embryos was considerably higher (aOR 0.710, 95%CI 0.570-0.890; P = 0.003), whereas no differences were found in other outcome variables (P > 0.05).
conclusionIn the single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer cycle, the poor-grade embryo on Day 3 is associated with a higher proportion of male neonates, but not with adverse neonatal outcomes.
