The retrospective study provides strong evidence for the benefits of PGT-A in terms of live births per embryo transferred and per cycle started but is limited in terms of matching PGT-A and non-PGT-A cohorts (e.g. in future studies, other confounders could be controlled for). This data challenges the HFEA "red traffic light" guidance that states there is "no evidence that PGT-A is effective or safe" and hence suggests the statement be revisited in the light of this and other new data.
