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

This study evaluated the clinical outcomes associated with quantitative phase microscopy (QPM), an advanced 3D morphological sperm analysis technique using a virtual, stained model developed in our facility that indicates whether the inspected sperm should be selected for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). We prospectively compared the clinical outcomes of three groups of cycles: (1) one with the QPM assessment, (2) one with conventional ICSI, without using QPM in the same patient, and (3) one with conventional ICSI cycles of an historical cohort of patients who did not undergo QPM. The outcomes of cycles using QPM vs. intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI) cycles were also compared. A total of 1243 cycles were included. Pregnancy and delivery rates were higher among the QPM group compared to the standard ICSI group (56.2% vs. 18.1%,
