Effect of Alpha-Lipoic Acid on the Development, Oxidative Stress, and Cryotolerance of Bovine Embryos Produced In Vitro.

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
Oxidative stress (OS) induced by an imbalance in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in vitro impairs embryonic development. Here, we assessed the effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) in in vitro production media on OS reduction, embryonic development, and cryotolerance of bovine embryos. We evaluated the effects of adding different concentrations of ALA (2.5, 5, 10, and 25 μM) to in vitro maturation (IVM) or in vitro culture (IVC) medium on embryonic development. We also determined the effects of adding ALA (25 μM) to the IVM and IVC medium in the same routine on the development and quality of embryos, ROS levels, and cryotolerance. Embryos were produced in vitro using conventional protocols for each treatment. The inclusion of ALA in the IVM and IVC media did not affect the development or quality of embryos; however, it reduced ROS levels in grade II embryos and increased hatching after 12 h on day 7 in grade I embryos and on day 8 in grade II embryos after warming. These findings prompt questions regarding the potential of ALA in improving embryo metabolism, considering the initial embryo recovery in the first few hours of embryo warming.
