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
objectiveTo study innovative approaches to ovarian tissue cryopreservation, a critical issue for fertility preservation in pediatric cancer patients. Despite historical attempts, recent advances in cancer treatment have underscored the urgent need for more effective and reliable ovarian tissue cryopreservation methods. Our research aims to evaluate if decreasing the rigidity of stroma before cryopreservation by investigating pre-treatments with enzymes can enhance the quality of ovarian tissue post-thawing.
designOur research evaluated the use of five commonly used enzymes to disaggregate tissue (trypLE, collagenase, dispase, accutase and hyaluronidase) before freezing ovarian tissue to decrease rigidity and facilitate cryopreservation. Sheep ovaries, with high similarity to human ovaries, were used as an animal model. Tissue structure, cell proliferation, apoptosis and viability were assessed before and after thawing.
resultsOur findings showed that enzymatic treatment with trypLE before freezing offered immediate benefits post-thawing with the highest viability values and percentage of intact follicles. A decrease in viability was observed after thawing and culturing the samples. The pretreatment with accutase damaged the tissue severely with also the lowest viability values. Ki67-positive follicles and stromal cells were observed in fresh samples, but only trypLE and hyaluronidase maintained Ki67-positive antral follicles after 2 days culture. Besides, only trypLE maintained all follicles negative to caspase-3 after thawing, and 7 days after culture primordial follicles were apoptotic in all treatments apart from trypLE.
conclusionour findings suggest that trypLE pretreatment could provide a beneficial approach for maintaining the functions and viability of cryopreserved ovaries after thawing. Further research is needed to fully understand their impact and optimize cryopreservation protocols in this important clinical context.
