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

The COVID-19 pandemic has been continuing for one and a half year and caused a profound effect on human health. Although advanced researches and literatures are gathered, the influences of SARS-CoV-2 on the reproduction systems are largely unknown, especially on the female reproductive functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of N501Y mutant spike protein of SARS-Cov-2 on oocyte maturation. We demonstrated that the N501Y mutant of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein impaired the mouse oocyte maturation accompanied by abnormal spindle assembly. Furthermore, the mean spindle length and the plate width were significantly increased in the N501Y-treated group compared to the control group. These results indicated the potential impairment of maturation of the oocytes caused by the infection of SARS-CoV-2, albeit current results were derived from mouse oocytes. The present study provided a theoretical basis for the attention of female reproductive health during the COVID-19 pandemic and shed light on the potential risk of SARS-CoV-2 in the successful rate of assisted reproduction.
