Epigenetic effect of putrescine supplementation during in vitro maturation of oocytes on offspring in mice.

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
purposeTo investigate the epigenetic safety of putrescine supplementation during in vitro maturation (IVM) to offspring.
methodsGerminal vesicle oocytes retrieved from 12-week-old mice were randomly divided into two groups and cultured in IVM medium with or without 1 mmol/L putrescine for 16 h. Then, in vitro fertilization and embryo transplantation were conducted to produce the F1 offspring. The F1 mated with ordinary mice and bred the F2 offspring. The DNA methylation patterns in the brain and heart of F1 were investigated by reduced representation bisulfite sequencing. Imprinted gene expression levels of F1 oocytes were tested. The global methylation of F2 was examined by dot blot.
resultsThe weight, organ coefficient, and histology were normal in the F1 and F2 offspring from the putrescine-treated oocytes. An overall methylation level of 31.23 to 32.53% was observed for all CpG sites in the brain and heart of the two groups. The DNA methylation patterns of the brain and heart in F1 were not altered in general, with subtle differences. The expression levels of imprinted genes including H19, Snrpn, Peg3, Igf2, and Igf2r did not statistically change. The global 5mC level of F2 was consistent with the control group.
conclusionPutrescine supplementation during IVM did not directly affect the development, health, and reproduction, and did not affect the genome and global epigenetics of mouse offspring derived from those oocytes. The transient putrescine treatment for improving oocyte maturation shows its long-term safety of genome and epigenetics in the offspring of mice.
