Study Reason for exclusion
Forman 2013 Inappropriate study design: SET in the PGS group vs DET in the control group
Forman 2014 Inappropriate study design: SET in the PGS group vs DET in the control group
Gianaroli 1997 Allocation to intervention or control group based on volunteer decision.
Gianaroli 1999 Allocation to intervention or control group based on volunteer decision.
Mersereau 2008 Unknown status: ongoing or stopped. Outcome measures reported as percentages without mentioning the unit of analysis, not possible to calculate the exact numbers.
Moayeri 2016 No data beyond biochemical pregnancy
NCT02265614 Study stopped earlier due to poor recruitment, no published data.
Ozgur 2019 Inappropriate study design: only 1 blastocyst underwent PGT‐A; the rest were morphologically scored
Rubio 2017 Incorrect unit of analysis, e.g. per started cycle. Multiple ovum pick‐ups were allowed to collect multiple oocytes before a transfer was attempted, and it was not possible to calculate the exact numbers per first treatment cycle.
Scott 2013 Only inclusion of patients with an embryo transfer. Study in favour of PGT‐A. If randomisation occurred at cycle start, a percentage would not have had euploid embryos to biopsy or transfer, thus likely altering success rates, based on an intention‐to‐treat analysis.
Stevens 2004 The participants included in this study were also included in another, larger study.
Yang 2012 Only inclusion of patients with an embryo transfer. Study in favour of PGT‐A. If randomisation occurred at cycle start, some percentage would not have had euploid embryos to biopsy or transfer, thus likely altering success rates, based on an intention‐to‐treat analysis.

DET: Double embryo transfer

PGS: Preimplantation genetic screening

PGT‐A: Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies

SET: Single embryo transfer
