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

Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is associated with final stages of follicular development and ovulation in mammals. The human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) mimics the action of luteinizing hormone and triggers follicular development and ovulation. However, it remains unclear whether hCG induces generation of ROS, if yes, whether hCG-mediated increased level of ROS could induce meiotic exit and/or apoptosis in rat oocytes. For this purpose, cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected from ovary of experimental rats injected with 20 IU pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin for 48 h followed by 20 IU hCG for 0, 7, 14, and 21 h. The morphological changes in COCs, meiotic status of oocyte, total ROS, hydrogen peroxide (H
