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

To sustain energy-demanding developmental processes, oocytes must accumulate adequate stores of metabolic substrates and mitochondrial numbers prior to the initiation of maturation. In the past, researchers have utilized pooled samples to study oocyte metabolism, and studies that related multiple metabolic outcomes in single oocytes, such as ATP concentration and mitochondrial DNA copy number, were not possible. Such scenarios decreased sensitivity to intraoocyte metabolic relationships and made it difficult to obtain adequate sample numbers during studies with limited oocyte availability. Therefore, we developed and validated procedures to measure both mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number and ATP quantity in single oocytes. Validation of our procedures revealed that we could successfully divide oocyte lysates into quarters and measure consistent results from each of the aliquots for both ATP and mtDNA copy number. Coefficient of variation between the values retrieved for mtDNA copy number and ATP quantity quadruplicates were 4.72 ± 0.98 and 1.61 ± 1.19, respectively. We then utilized our methodology to concurrently measure mtDNA copy number and ATP quantity in germinal vesicle (GV) and metaphase two (MII) stage oocytes. Our methods revealed a significant increase in ATP levels (GV = 628.02 ± 199.53 pg, MII = 1326.24 ± 199.86 pg,
