Improved surrogate eggshell incubation system for assisted reproductive technologies such as cloning, genome modification, and de-extinction efforts.

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
A germinal disc located on the egg yolk surface drives genetic modification. Windowed and surrogate eggshell incubation methods have been developed, but these exhibit limited abilities to generate transgenic chickens. In the present study, we investigated the frequency of observing the germinal disc according to the preincubation positioning direction and time and found that it depended on those conditions, but only a few chicks (2.8-5.6%) hatched using the windowed method. Then, we attempted to improve surrogate method via one- or two-step procedures. All eggs, including surrogates that were 10 g heavier than the donor eggs, were obtained from a poultry flock of the same age. With the one-step surrogate method, where the donor egg was transferred only once through a 3.5 cm hole on the point end, at the first day of preincubation, into the surrogate egg, the survival rate at day 4 was 30.8%, and the hatching rate was 11.8%. With the two-step surrogate method (transfer was on the 1st and 4th day of incubation), the survival rate at day 4 was improved to 90.7%, and a hatching rate of 70.0% was achieved. Therefore, this method can be effective for in ovo artificial incubation.
