The bovine oviductal environment and composition are negatively affected by elevated body energy reserves.

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
To analyze the effects of high body energy reserve (BER) within the oviductal environment and its composition, Nellore cows were fed two different nutritional plans to obtain animals with moderate BER (MBER) and high BER (HBER). After obtaining the groups with different BERs, all animals were subjected to oestrus synchronization and artificial insemination, and 120 hours after ovulation induction, the cows were slaughtered, the reproductive tract was removed, and the ipsilateral oviduct to the corpus luteum was collected and dissected. Analyses were performed only for animals that had an 8-cell embryo in the isthmus. After embryo identification, we evaluated the molecular profiles of extracellular vesicles from oviductal flushing (OF-EVs) and luminal epithelial cells (OV-Cell) and performed histomorphological analysis of oviductal tissue from the ampullary and isthmic oviductal regions. The HBER group presented higher concentrations of ampullary extracellular vesicles (AMP-EVs) and larger sizers of isthmic extracellular vesicles (IST-EVs). The miRNA profile of AMP-EVs showed that the differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted to regulate pathways associated with cell growth, migration, differentiation and metabolism, with the HBER group being more susceptible to insulin modulation. The MBER animals showed greater ampullary vascularization than the HBER animals did. Additionally, the miRNA profile and differential gene expression (DEG) data obtained for ampullary (AMP-Cell) and isthmic (IST-Cell) luminal epithelial cells revealed pathways related to insulin metabolism. Thus, elevated BER may lead to oviductal insulin resistance, affecting normal functioning and, probably, embryo metabolism during early development, thus impacting gestational rates in these animals.
