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

In pigs, in vitro production is difficult with a high occurrence of polyspermy and low blastocyst formation rates. To test the hypothesis that this may, at least in part, be due to chromosomal errors, we employed whole genome amplification and comparative genomic hybridization, performing comprehensive chromosome analysis to assess both cells of the two-cell stage in vitro porcine embryos. We thus described the incidence, nature and origin of chromosome abnormalities, i.e. whether they derived from incorrect meiotic division during gametogenesis or aberrant mitotic division in the zygote. We observed that 19 out of 51 (37%) of two-cell stage early pig IVP embryos had a chromosome abnormality, mostly originating from an abnormal division in the zygote. Moreover, we frequently encountered multiple aneuploidies and segmental chromosome aberrations. These results indicate that the pig may be particularly sensitive to in vitro production, which may, in turn, be due to incorrect chromosome segregations during meiosis and early cleavage divisions. We thus accept our hypothesis that chromosome abnormality could explain poor IVP outcomes in pigs.
