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
Aneuploidy (abnormal chromosome number) accompanies reduced ovarian function in humans and mice, but the reasons behind this concomitance remain underexplored. Some variants in the human gene encoding histone-3-lysine-4,36-trimethyltransferase PRDM9 are associated with aneuploidy, and other variants with ovarian function reduced by premature ovarian failure (POF), but no link between POF and aneuploidy has been revealed. SHR/OlaIpcv rat females lacking PRDM9 manifest POF-a reduced follicle number, litter size, and reproductive age. Here, we explored this model to test how POF relates to oocyte euploidy. The mutant rat females displayed increased oocyte aneuploidy and embryonic death of their offspring compared to controls. Because rat PRDM9 positions meiotic DNA breaks, we investigated the repair of these breaks. Fertile control rodents carry pachytene oocytes with synapsed homologous chromosomes and repaired breaks, while sterile Prdm9-deficient mice carry pachytene-like oocytes with many persisting breaks and asynapsed chromosomes. However, most PRDM9-lacking rat oocytes displayed a few persisting breaks and non-homologous synapsis (NHS). HORMAD2 protein serves as a barrier to sister-chromatid repair and a signal for the synapsis and DNA repair checkpoints. NHS but not asynapsis was associated with HORMAD2 levels similar to the levels on rat pachytene chromosomes with homologous synapsis. NHS was accompanied by crossing-over decreased below the minimum that is essential for euploidy. We argue that the increased mutant rat aneuploidy is due to NHS, which allows some oocytes to pass meiotic checkpoints without one crossing-over per chromosomal pair, leading to segregation errors, and thereby NHS links POF to aneuploidy.
