In vivo fertilization improved the cryotolerance and developmental ability of vitrified-warmed rat fertilized oocytes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 cryopreservation of rat embryos is useful for efficiently archiving rat resources in bioresource repositories. The cryopreserved fertilized oocytes can be quickly reanimated to rats with homozygous mutations using embryo transfer. In addition, cryopreserved rat fertilized oocytes are easier to transport than live animals. Before cryopreservation, fertilized oocytes are obtained by mating or in vitro fertilization. However, it is not clear which fertilized oocytes are most suited to cryopreservation. In this study, we performed a systematic comparison of the fertilizing ability, cryotolerance, and developmental ability of cryopreserved fertilized oocytes at the pronuclear stage produced either by mating (in vivo) or in vitro fertilization (in vitro) in SD and F344 rats. In vivo-fertilized oocytes had higher cryotolerance and developmental ability than in vitro-fertilized oocytes in SD and F344 rats. Furthermore, the fertilization ability, cryotolerance, and developmental ability of vitrified-warmed fertilized oocytes differed between SD and F344 rats. In conclusion, our study suggests that in vivo-fertilized rat oocytes were more suitable for cryopreservation. Our protocol provides an optimized system for the management of rat colonies using fertilized oocytes cryopreservation and contributes to the 3Rs principle by reducing the number of animals used for research.
