Sperm Energy Restriction and Recovery (SER) Alters Epigenetic Marks during the First Cell Cycle of Development in Mice.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
The sperm energy restriction and recovery (SER) treatment developed in our laboratory was shown to improve fertilization and blastocyst development following in vitro fertilization (IVF) in mice. Here, we investigated the effects of SER on early embryogenesis. Developmental events observed during the first cell cycle indicated that progression through the pronuclear stages of SER-generated embryos is advanced in comparison with control-generated embryos. These findings prompted further analysis of potential effects of SER on pronuclear chromatin dynamics, focusing on the key H3K4me3 and H3K27ac histone modifications. Nearly all the SER-generated embryos displayed H3K4me3 in the male pronuclei at 12 h post-insemination (HPI), while a subset of the control-generated embryos did not. Additionally, SER-generated embryos displayed a more homogenous intensity of H3K27ac at 8 and 12 HPI compared to control embryos. These changes in histone modifications during the first cell cycle were accompanied by differences in gene expression at the two-cell stage; both of these changes in early embryos could potentially play a role in the improved developmental outcomes of these embryos later in development. Our results indicate that sperm incubation conditions have an impact on early embryo development and can be useful for the improvement of assisted reproductive technology outcomes.
