Review in Current issues in molecular biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06261671 (Antioxidants-enriched Single-step vs Global Total Single-step Embryo Culture Media), which is not on this map. Cited by 30 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Based on current findings, the presence of oxidative stress has a significant impact on the quality of gametes and embryos when performing assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Unfortunately, in vitro manipulation of these cells exposes them to a higher level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The primary goal of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the development of oxidative stress in female and male reproductive systems, as well as in the case of the pre-implantation embryo and its environment. This review also focuses on the origins of ROS and the mechanisms of oxidative stress-induced damage during ART procedures. A well-known but underestimated hazard, light exposure-related photo-oxidation, is particularly concerning. The effect of oxidative stress on ART outcomes, as well as the various strategies for preventing it, are also discussed. We emphasize the role and significance of antioxidants and light protection including forms, functions, and mechanisms in the development of gametes and embryos in vivo and in vitro.
