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

Early stage porcine parthenogenetic embryos were evaluated for metabolic activity using a biodynamic microscope (BDM) that images dynamic light scattering using low-coherence digital holography. The microscope has a 45-deg illumination configuration that reduces specular background for the imaging of small translucent samples. The off-axis illumination is compatible with coherence-gated imaging because of volumetric light scattering in which the coherence plane is tilted at half the illumination angle in a three-dimensional tissue target. The BDM was used to profile the viability of porcine parthenotes with normal and with inhibited mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production using Doppler fluctuation spectroscopy. The ATP concentrations in the parthenotes, which are indicative of developmental potential, were validated by a conventional bioluminescence assay. Biodynamic classifications achieved ∼80  %   accuracy correlating sample ATP treatment, providing a quick, label-free surrogate measurement to replace invasive metabolic assays as a candidate for evaluating quality of early embryos in the assisted reproductive technology setting.
