Updating the markers for oocyte quality evaluation: intracellular temperature as a new index.
Review in Reproductive medicine and biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe developmental competence of an embryo is principally dictated by the oocyte. Usually, oocyte selection is based on morphological properties; however, all morphological criteria that are currently used for the grading and screening of oocytes are not able to eliminate the subjectivity. Despite recent studies of the molecular factors related to oocyte quality, it is technically difficult to develop an index based on these factors, and new indices that reflect intracellular conditions are necessary.
methodsMorphological and molecular factors influencing developmental competence were comprehensively reviewed, and intracellular temperature was evaluated as a new marker of oocyte quality. MAIN
findingsThe intracellular temperature of mature oocytes was high in fresh oocytes and decreased with time after polar body release. Under the same conditions, the intracellular temperature and its distribution differed among oocytes, suggesting that temperature represents the state of each oocyte.
conclusionIntracellular temperature is advantageous as an objective and quantitative indicator of oocyte quality. Further studies should evaluate the link between temperature and cellular phenomena to establish its use as an indicator of quality.
