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

Superovulation is often used to increase the number of oocytes that can be collected from donor females for in vitro fertilization. Donor age can affect the quantity and quality of oocytes produced during superovulation, and in some strains of mice juvenile females are optimal donors. The authors reviewed donor and oocyte records from a breeding program to evaluate how donor age affects the number and fertilization efficiency of oocytes collected from C57BL/6J mice. Generally fewer oocytes per donor were collected from females aged > 32 d than from females aged 21-32 d. Fertilization efficiency of oocytes generally declined with donor age when oocytes were fertilized with fresh or with stored sperm. These findings suggest that the use of younger C57BL/6J donors, instead of older donors, can reduce the number of donors needed for IVF procedures.
