Fixation in Form-Acetic allows hyaluronic acid detection in mouse ovaries.
Article in Reproduction & fertility, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
To visualise tissues to determine the presence of disease or simply to understand anatomy, it is important to preserve fresh tissue. Fixatives are chemical solutions that preserve tissues to enable microscopic evaluation. However, some fixatives introduce artefact such as shrinkage of cells. Recently, a new fixative, Form-Acetic, was developed that is superior for preserving the structure of ovary tissue and allows investigation of ovary composition. One component of the ovary is hyaluronic acid (HA), which plays a crucial role in normal ovary function and fertility. Importantly, HA is sensitive to different fixative solutions. Therefore, it is meaningful to verify whether Form-Acetic is suitable for detecting HA. In this study, adult mouse ovaries were fixed in Form-Acetic and HA was detected. All HA-containing structures in the ovary were clearly distinguished which proves that the novel fixative allows the detection of HA.
