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

purposeThe fertility of women decreases with age because of factors such as an increased incidence of aneuploidies and-possibly-decreased mitochondrial activity in oocytes. However, the relationship between maternal aging and mitochondrial function of their embryos remains unknown. Here, we assessed the relationship between maternal age and mitochondrial functions in their oocytes and embryos

methodsThe relationships between maternal age and oxygen consumption rates (OCRs), mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy numbers, or blastocyst development was investigated using 81 embryos donated from 63 infertility couples. The developmental rates from morulae to blastocysts were retrospectively analyzed using data of 105 patients.

resultsThe OCRs of morulae decreased with maternal age (r

conclusionsThe data of the present study revealed that mitochondrial function at the morula stage of human embryos decreased with their maternal age and a decrease of mitochondrial function led to slow-paced development and impaired developmental rate from morulae to blastocysts.
