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

purposeTo compare the expression profile of developmentally important genes between hand-made cloned buffalo embryos produced from reprogramming of donor cell with oocyte extracts and selection of recipient cytoplast through brilliant cresyl blue staining and in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos.

methodsHand-made cloned embryos were produced using oocyte extracts treated donor cells and brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) stained recipient cytoplasts. IVF embryos were produced by culturing 15-20 COCs in BO capacitated sperms from frozen thawed buffalo semen and the mRNA expression patterns of genes implicated in metabolism (GLUT1), pluripotency (OCT4), DNA methylation (DNMT1), pro- apoptosis (BAX) and anti-apoptosis (BCL2) were evaluated at 8- to16- cell stage embryos.

resultsA significantly (P < 0.05) higher number of 8- to16- cell and blastocyst stages (73.9 %, 32.8 %, respectively) were reported in hand-made cloning (HMC) as compared to in vitro fertilization (49.2 %, 24.2 %, respectively). The amount of RNA recovered from 8- to 16- cell embryos of HMC and in vitro fertilization did not appear to be influenced by the method of embryo generation (3.76 ± 0.61 and 3.82 ± 0.62 ng/μl for HMC and in vitro fertilization embryos, respectively). There were no differences in the expression of the mRNA transcripts of genes (GLUT1, OCT4, DNMT1, BAX and BCL2) were analysed by real-time PCR between hand-made cloned and IVF embryos.

conclusionsPre-treatment of donor cells with oocyte extracts and selection of developmentally competent oocytes through BCB staining for recipient cytoplast preparations may enhance expression of developmentally important genes GLUT1, OCT4, DNMT1, BAX, and BCL2 in hand-made cloned embryos at levels similar to IVF counterparts. These results also support the notion that if developmental differences observed in HMC and in vitro fertilization produced foetuses and neonates are the results of aberrant gene expression during the pre-implantation stage, those differences in expression are subtle or appear after the maternal to zygotic transition stage of development.
