A polysaccharide gel made of gellan gum improves oocyte maturation and embryonic development in pigs.

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
Gellan gum (GG) is a soft, tractable, and natural polysaccharide substrate used for cell incubation. In this study, we examined the effects of GG on porcine oocyte maturation. Cumulus cells and oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected from slaughterhouse-derived porcine ovaries and cultured on plastic plates containing 0.05% or 0.1% GG gels. The 0.1% GG gel improved the maturation rate and quality of blastocysts, as determined by the total cell number and the rate of abnormally condensed nuclei. GG gels have antioxidant abilities and oocytes cultured on GG gels (0.05% and 0.1%) have reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) content. Furthermore, GG gels (0.05% and 0.1%) increased F-actin formation, whereas treatment of oocytes with H
