Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15 (BMP-15) Improves In Vitro Mouse Folliculogenesis.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Multilayered secondary follicles were encapsulated in a 0.5% alginate matrix and cultured in a 3D culture system supplemented with bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15; 15 ng/mL) for 12 days. The in vitro development of ovarian follicles was evaluated. On day 12, the follicle diameter, follicle survival rate, and antrum formation rate were significantly higher for follicles cultured in BMP-15-supplemented medium than those cultured in regular medium. The percentage of ovulated metaphase II oocytes retrieved from follicles cultured in BMP-15-supplemented medium was greater than that of oocytes retrieved from follicles cultured in regular medium. The secretion of P4 was significantly higher on days 6, 8, and 10 in follicles cultured in BMP-15-supplemented medium. The result for E2 tended toward significance on day 12. Intracellular reactive oxygen species levels were higher and glutathione levels were lower in mature oocytes from the in vitro culture than in mature oocytes from an in vivo control. A 3D culture system using an alginate matrix and supplemented with BMP-15 effectively improves the outcomes of in vitro ovarian follicle culture.
