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

Whole-genome (WG) abnormalities, such as uniparental diploidy and triploidy, cause fetal death. Occasionally, they coexist with biparental diploid cells in live births. Understanding the origin and early development of WG abnormal blastomeres is crucial for explaining the formation of androgenotes, gynogenotes, triploidy, chimerism, and mixoploidy. By haplotyping 118 bovine blastomeres from the first cleavages, we identified that heterogoneic division occurs in both multipolar and bipolar cleaving zygotes. During heterogoneic division, parental genomes segregate into distinct blastomeres, resulting in the coexistence of uniparental and biparental diploid or polyploid cells. After culturing the totipotent blastomeres to three preimplantation stages and exploring transcriptomes of 446 cells, we discovered that stress responses contribute to developmental impairment in WG abnormal cells, resulting in either cell arrest or blastocyst formation. Their dominance in preimplantation embryos represents an overlooked cause of abnormal development. Haplotype-based screening could improve
