Article in Fertility and sterility, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05332769 (Cumulus Cell Mitochondrial Activity as a Non-invasive Marker of Embryo Quality), which is not on this map. Cited by 28 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveTo determine whether metabolic imaging with the use of fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) identifies metabolic differences between normal oocytes and those with metabolic dysfunction.

designExperimental study.

settingAcademic research laboratories. PATIENT(S): None. INTERVENTION(S): Oocytes from mice with global knockout of Clpp (caseinolytic peptidase P; n = 52) were compared with wild-type (WT) oocytes (n = 55) as a model of severe oocyte dysfunction. Oocytes from old mice (1 year old; n = 29) were compared with oocytes from young mice (12 weeks old; n = 35) as a model of mild oocyte dysfunction. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): FLIM was used to measure the naturally occurring nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) autofluorescence in individual oocytes. Eight metabolic parameters were obtained from each measurement (4 per fluorophore): short (τ RESULT(S): In Clpp-knockout oocytes compared with WT, FAD τ CONCLUSION(S): FLIM parameters exhibit strong differentiation between Clpp-knockout versus WT, and old versus young oocytes. FLIM could potentially be used as a noninvasive tool to assess mitochondrial function in oocytes.
