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

Vitamin A plays a vital role during embryo development as most precursor of embryonic retinoic acid, a key morphogen during embryogenesis. Carotenoids, including β-carotene, are important vegetal source of Vitamin A and in contrast to teratogenic potential of animal-derived retinoids, β-carotene is usually considered freed from embryotoxic effects and supplements in pregnancy with β-carotene are suggested. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the effect of bulk and nano-encapsulated β-carotene on embryo development, by using the animal model Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay:
