Effect of neurotensin on cultured mouse preimplantation embryos.
Article in The Journal of reproduction and development, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Previously, we revealed that neurotensin (NTS) derived from the oviduct and uterus can function during fertilization. However, little is known about NTS actions on the pre-implantation embryo after fertilization. Here, we found that pro-Nts mRNA is expressed in the oviduct and uterus during when preimplantation embryos develop and an increase in mRNA level in the uterus is induced by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) treatment. Expression of mRNA for two NTS receptors, Ntr1 and Ntr3, was found throughout these stages, whereas Ntr2 mRNA was not detected, suggesting that NTS signaling occurred through NTR1 and NTR3. Supplementation of 1, 10, 100 or 1000 nM NTS to embryo culture medium after fertilization showed that 100 nM NTS significantly improved the blastocyst formation. In comparison, the total number of cells and inner cell mass ratio of blastocysts was not significant different between the 0 nM and 100 nM NTS treatment groups. These results indicate that NTS has a positive effect upon preimplantation embryo development in vitro.
