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

purposeTesticular tissue cryopreservation prior to gonadotoxic therapies is a method to preserve fertility in children. However, the technique still requires development, especially when the tissue is immature and rather susceptible to stress derived from in vitro manipulation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of vitrification with a new cryodevice (E.Vit) on cell membrane integrity and gene expression of prepubertal testicular tissue in the ovine model.

methodsPieces of immature testicular tissue (1 mm

resultsPost-warming trypan blue staining showed the survival of most cells, although membrane integrity immediately after warming (66.00% ± 4.73) or after 2 h IVC (59.67% ± 4.18) was significantly lower than controls (C0h 89.67% ± 1.45). Extended post-warming IVC (24 h) caused an additional decrease to 31% ± 3.46 (P < 0.05). Germ- and somatic-cell specific markers showed the survival of both cell types after cryopreservation and IVC. All genes were affected by cryopreservation and/or IVC, and moderate stress conditions were indicated by transcriptional stress response.

conclusionsVitrification with the cryodevice E.Vit is a promising strategy to cryopreserve prepubertal testicular tissue.
