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

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnO) have been shown to have higher toxic effects likely due to their ion-shedding ability and low solubility under neutral conditions. In order to investigate whether exposure to nZnO during embryonic development affects ovary development, 12.5 day post coitum (dpc) fetal mouse ovaries were cultured in the presence of nZnO for 6 days. We found that the nanoparticles (NPs) accumulated within the oocyte cytoplasm in a dose dependent manner, caused DNA damage and apoptosis, and result in a significant decrease in oocyte numbers. No such effects were observed when the ovaries were incubated in the presence of ZnSO
