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

The tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes is one of the most popular aquacultural fish; however, there are two major obstacles to selective breeding. First, they have a long generation time of 2 or 3 years until maturation. Second, the parental tiger puffer has a body size (2-5 kg) much larger than average market size (0.6-1.0 kg). The grass puffer Takifugu niphobles is closely related to the tiger puffer and matures in half the time. Furthermore, grass puffer can be reared in small areas since their maturation weight is about 1/150 that of mature tiger puffer. Therefore, to overcome the obstacles of maturation size and generation time of tiger puffer, we generated surrogate grass puffer that can produce tiger puffer gametes through germ cell transplantation. Approximately 5000 tiger puffer testicular cells were transplanted into the peritoneal cavity of triploid grass puffer larvae at 1 day post hatching. When the recipient fish matured, both males and females produced donor-derived gametes. Through their insemination, we successfully produced donor-derived tiger puffer offspring presenting the same body surface dot pattern, number of dorsal fin rays, and DNA fingerprint as those of the donor tiger puffer, suggesting that the recipient grass puffer produced functional eggs and sperm derived from the donor tiger puffer. Although fine tunings are still needed to improve efficiencies, surrogate grass puffer are expected to accelerate the breeding process of tiger puffer because of their short generation time and small body size.
