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.

2 · The registry

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

In the last decades, major changes in ecosystems related to industrial development and environmental modifications have had a direct impact on mammalian fertility, as well as on biodiversity. It is widely demonstrated that all these changes impair reproductive function. Several studies have connected the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in mitochondria to the recently identified decline of fertility due to various factors, including heat stress. The study of antioxidants, and especially of mitochondria targeted antioxidants, has been focused on identifying more efficient and less toxic therapies that could circumvent fertility problems. These antioxidants can be derived from natural compounds in the diet and delivered to the mitochondria in more effective forms, providing a much more natural therapy. The use of mitochondriotropic diet-based antioxidants in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) may be an important way to overcome low fertility, allowing the conservation of animal biodiversity and productivity. This paper provides a concise review of the current state of the art on this topic, with a particular focus on the antioxidants mitoquinone, AntiOxBEN
