Summary

This study compared two advanced embryo culture systems used in IVF with ICSI. One system has a built-in camera to watch embryos continuously, while the other uses periodic microscope checks. Researchers wanted to see if either system leads to more embryos implanting successfully. The trial involved 388 participants at a single French hospital.
